""A Free Inquiry Into The Miraculous Powers, Which Are Supposed To Have Subsisted In The Christian Church: From The Earliest Ages Through Several Successive Centuries"" is a book written by Conyers Middleton in 1749. The book explores the supposed miraculous powers that have existed in the Christian Church from the earliest ages through several successive centuries. Middleton examines various accounts and stories of miracles, such as the healing of the sick, the raising of the dead, and the speaking in tongues. He questions the validity of these accounts and argues that many of them are embellished or entirely fabricated. Middleton also challenges the notion that miracles are necessary to prove the truth of Christianity, and instead advocates for a rational and evidence-based approach to faith. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and sparked a debate about the role of miracles in religion. Today, it is considered a landmark work in the history of religious skepticism and critical thinking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
