Review # 1 was written on 2019-12-06 00:00:00 Roy Corson Earman, who is not sympathetic to theism, provides an excellent critical monograph against Hume's influential argument against miracles. The book selves deeply into Bayesian formulas which may make it a hard reading for some; however Earman always summarizes his findings making it easier for the reader. Really this book'or at least excerpts from it'should be required reading for all philosophy majors who have been captivated by Hume's argument.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-16 00:00:00 Susan Peterson While I would refrain from elaborating why I would consider Dr. Earman my new philosophical spirit animal - as I would find myself compelled to engage any number of topics if it were to silence the sneering of the pretentious - I would say that this book systematically dismantles Hume's abject failure to produce an "in principle" argument against miracles.
