The question of miracles is a topic that evokes responses no matter where you bring it up. Among our broader culture, you might receive a sneer or a look of suspicion. Even in the church, some people will get excited and others will be cautiously hesitant when you bring up the miraculous and the potential to experience miracles. I’m excited to bring the esteemed philosopher J. P. Moreland back on the show to discuss his latest book A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles: Instruction and Inspiration for Living Supernaturally in Christ.
I must admit that J. P.’s work in this area has profoundly influenced me. He has helped me to be much more open to and desiring to see extraordinary works of the Spirit, and I think you will get a lot out of it too.
J. P. Moreland (Ph.D., University of Southern California) is a distinguished professor of philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, in La Mirada, California. He has written or contributed to over ninety-five books, including The God Conversation, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, In Search of a Confident Faith, and Love Your God With All Your Mind.
