The world's major monotheistic religions hold a common belief that God actively intervenes in the world. This Element delves into the nature of divine action, with a particular emphasis on miracles or extraordinary divine acts. Miracles have often been a subject of debate and contention. Some argue that they are inherently untenable or defy the laws of nature. Others contend that even if miracles happen, they cannot be rationally believed solely on the basis of testimony. Some even argue that miracles fall outside the realm of historical investigation.

However, the author addresses these objections and examines the role of miracles as signs in the New Testament. The author explores the various perspectives on miracles and seeks to understand their significance within the context of these religions. Through this analysis, the author aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the debate surrounding miracles and their place in the religious traditions of the world.

In conclusion, this Element examines the nature of divine action, with a specific focus on miracles or extraordinary divine acts. It explores the various perspectives on miracles and their significance within the world's major monotheistic religions. By addressing the objections raised against miracles, the author seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the debate surrounding these phenomena and their place in religious belief and practice.
