Miracles - C. S. Lewis

In this work, C. S. Lewis constructs a sophisticated philosophical defense of supernaturalism, arguing that miracles are not random disruptions but meaningful acts of a Creator. He begins by exposing the self-referential incoherence of naturalism, noting that if human reason is merely the result of non-rational physical causes, then the very logic used to support naturalism is undermined. Central to his thesis is the Incarnation as the Grand Miracle, a pivotal event that harmonizes all other biblical wonders into a coherent narrative of divine redemption. Lewis maintains that these interventions do not break natural laws but rather introduce new events into the natural system, much like a poet adding a new line to a verse. Ultimately, the text serves to rehabilitate the rationality of the Christian worldview, positioning the supernatural as the necessary foundation for both human thought and the restoration of the physical world.
