""A New Edition of A Free Enquiry into the Miraculous Powers: Which are Supposed to have Subsisted in the Christian Church"" is a book written by Conyers Middleton and first published in 1749. The book is a critical examination of the miraculous powers that were believed to have existed in the Christian Church during its early years. Middleton argues that many of the supposed miracles were either exaggerated or completely fabricated. He also questions the validity of the accounts of miracles in the Bible, arguing that they were often intended to serve a political or religious agenda. The book was controversial when it was first published and was widely criticized by religious leaders. This new edition, published in 1844, includes a preface by the editor and additional notes and commentary. It remains an important work in the history of religious criticism and skepticism.From The Earliest Ages Through Several Successive Centuries, Upon The Authority Of The Primitive Fathers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
