Counterfeit Miracles

Benjamin B. Warfield — Counterfeit Miracles (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1918).

The Thomas Smyth Lectures for 1917–1918, delivered at Columbia Theological Seminary, South Carolina. Warfield argues that the miraculous gifts of the apostolic age were the credentials of the apostles and ceased with them, and then examines the claims to miracle that followed: the marvels of the Fathers and the Middle Ages, the miracles of Lourdes and the Roman Church, the tongues and prophecies of Edward Irving’s congregation, the faith-healing movement, and the mind-cure of Christian Science.
