Episode #22 - Cessationism 11 (Miracles in the Middle Ages)

In this episode of Off The Record, Daniel Kolenda continues his series on "The Heresy of Cessationism" by delving into the historical development of modern cessationism, emphasizing its roots in Enlightenment philosophy and skepticism towards the supernatural. Benjamin Warfield, regarded as the pioneer of modern cessationism, is highlighted for basing his arguments more on historical critique than Scriptural exegesis. Kolenda challenges the notion of historical cessationism by pointing out the prevalence of reported miracles throughout church history in the Middle Ages. He also notes a shift in attitudes towards supernatural phenomena, particularly during the Protestant Reformation, suggesting a resurgence of Holy Spirit activity despite Calvinist leanings towards cessationism.
