Using Hume's work as a point of departure, the author addresses the two most important epistemological questions asked about miracles: Is it ever reasonable to ascribe a divine source to an anomalous event in order to identify it as miraculous? and What theoretically entails sufficient evidence that a miracle has actually taken place? Contemporary rehabilitations of Hume's argument, as put forth by Antony Flew, Alastair McKinnon, and Patrick Nowell-Smith, are evaluated. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eContents: \u003cb\u003e Defining the Miraculous; Hume's Argument, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart 1;\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eHume's Argument, \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ePart 2;\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rationality of Belief and the Existence of God; Contemporary Rehabilitations of Hume's Argument;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMiracles and Evidence.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francis J.
