About this listen

"The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C.S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in His creation. Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists, agnostics, and deists on their own grounds and makes out an impressive case for the irrationality of their assumptions by positing: "Those who assume that miracles cannot happen are merely wasting their time by looking into the texts: we know in advance what results they will find for they have begun by begging the question." - from Miracles©1947 C.

Lewis is a difficult writer to read as he is so logical-coherent and is so good at argumentations. Yet this audio book has made my journey with <miracle> becomes easier and amusing! Thank you for the audio book!

Lewis is a difficult reading, but this helps!

I loved what I could understand, and longed to grasp the rest, sensing that it was deep truth. I need to reread this. Over and over!

Amazing book! Sometimes too deep & for my brain.

This is another great book by C S Lewis. It is not as easy to understand as Mere Christianity but is a great read.

Great book

This book is one of the most influential books that I have read. I listened to this one many times without tiring of the message. This book has depth.

Thought provoking

When I was younger, I would have put this book down and dismissed it due to various complexities. Glad I have more patience now!

Tough to digest in some sections, but full of nuggets (especially in Ch. 14)

Incredible and worth the listen. A gem of a book by one of the greatest authors of all time. Must listen a few times and take notes to get the full breadth of it.

Lewis, man… Wow!

As usual the author plays with logic to show us many of the falacies of our modern day approach to Christianity. The reader has very clear diction and superb pronunciation of non-English words and expressions, but his reading is declamatory and not conducive to a better undestanding of the book's content.

Almost scholastic in its logical approach

Such an amazing book about spiritual battles and the importance of prayer. Set in the fictional town of Ashton. Demonic hosts and the humans they influence attempt to rule a small town. Can the saints and their angelic protectors turn the tide before the town descends into darkness.

I have worked my way through a number of works by Lewis this month. This work begins with quite abstract philosophical reasoning. That makes it somewhat tough going compared to other works by Lewis. I found the resort to insistent logical reasoning somewhat tedious, to be honest. The use of binaries early on (e.g. you are either "naturalist" or "supernaturalist") rather annoying and unnecessary, but maybe that just suggests the datedness of the work, or my own predispositions. On the whole, it offers a strong argument in favour of the incarnation, resurrection and ascension. As such, it sets up the challenge of miracles as a central issue for accepting or rejecting the Christian faith. Lewis does (as elsewhere) make the alternative perspectives seem most unreasonable, even foolish, in such a way that is hard to deny.

Deeper and more philosophical than other Lewis

This may be something that I have to revisit again just because of the complexity of the way Lewis argues the logic of Hugot is, and that he chooses to do miracles, or do things that we consider miracles.

The logical argument that miracles are real
