<p>Classic Jewish, Christian and Muslim thought has always affirmed the possibilityof divine intervention in the world. Meanwhile, scientists, philosophers andtheologians have argued about the issue of such supernatural "interference" inthe law-like process of nature for centuries. In the early age of modern philosophyin the 18th century, David Hume and Immanuel Kant vehemently opposed theidea of "miracles". Thus, it is fitting to make the critique of miracles by these twoimportant thinkers the subject of a systematic investigation, especially sinceKant's assessment has had little previous attention. This study, though, does notsimply investigate the historical development of the dispute up to and includingHume and Kant, but also concludes with a penetrating analysis of the modernconflict between theism and a thorough-going naturalism.</p>

<p>Every Sunday, many Christians solemnly confess their faith as they speak the Apostle’s Creed: “I believe in the Holy Spirit…” But many, though they take their faith seriously, do not have a clear comprehension of this Holy Spirit. They are much like the followers of John the Baptist in the ancient city of Ephesus. “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” the Apostle Paul asked. Their answer was one many might give today: “They spoke to him: No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit!” (Acts 19) This study is intended to help clarify central issues concerning the Holy Spirit and to enable a deeper understanding of who he is and why he has come. It is a study guide and handbook for personal and community spiritual growth.It discusses such vital questions as: Who is the "Holy Spirit"? What does it mean to be "baptized in the Spirit"? How can one be "filled" with the Spirit? What are the "gifts" of the Spirit? What is the "gift of tongues"? Is this intended for every Christian? How can you "test" the claim about a "prophecy" from the Spirit?</p>
