"The Case against Miracles is the most important anthology to ever
be written about miracles."Peter Boghossian, author of A Manual for
Creating Atheists and How to Have Impossible Conversations. "This
book is a secular miracle! An extremely rare event. For gathering
this well-reasoned material into such an accessible volume, John
Loftus should be canonized."Dan Barker, author of Godless, Free
Will Explained, and GOD: The Most Unpleasant Character in All
Fiction. "People of all faiths - and of no faith - will find The
Case against Miracles to be a fascinating read filled with thoughts
that will challenge them, with ideas that will lead them to
research more, and with philosophical premises that will create
meaningful discussions."Dr. Dan Lambert, Minister, First Unitarian
Universalist Congregation of the Palm Beaches "In this book Loftus
has marshaled all the key arguments to prove that people should
seriously doubt all religious miracle claims. It should be required
reading in all seminaries."Karen L. Garst, PhD, editor of Women
Beyond Belief and Women v. Religion. "Every John W. Loftus book is
a must-read; he continues to assemble some of the finest and most
insightful minds in contemporary counter-apologetics. Putting
biblical miracle claims under the magnifying lens, it weighs the
evidence and finds them wanting. The Case against Miracles is a
superb resource and a handy field guide for anyone forced to
traipse through the treacherous jungles of the miraculous."David
Fitzgerald, author of Nailed, Jesus: Mything in Action, and The
Complete Heretic's Guide to Western Religion. "The Case against
Miracles is a must read go-to book for showing the key flaws in the
arguments Christian apologists use to convince people that miracles
are real. It's the best book ever written on miracles."Mark W.
Gura, president of Atheist Alliance of America.
"The assorted contributors who provided essays for The Case Against
Miracles offer a range of arguments-from the philosophical and
intellectual to specific historic deconstructions-suggesting that
miracles fly in the face of reason and should be met with
credulity. They provide a wide survey of issues inherent in
miraculous claims that will give any reader much to consider."Dr.
Gregory Michna, assistant professor of history at Arkansas Tech
University
"Christians need be aware of what non-Christian scholars are
saying. In this thoughtful and stimulating volume, editor John
Loftus brings together a number of the most accomplished atheists
and other skeptics to deal with the crucial topic of miracles, an
issue that is important on all sides."Gary R. Habermas,
Distinguished Research Scholar & Chair, Dept. of Philosophy,
Liberty University.
