| Summary |
"The Supernatural in the New Testament, Possible, Credible, and Historical" by Rev. Charles A. Row is a theological examination written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the historical credibility of the supernatural elements found in the New Testament, specifically addressing objections posed by modern scepticism against the miraculous accounts of Christianity. Row aims to reaffirm the validity of miracles as historical events that underpin the foundation of Christian faith. At the start of the volume, Row outlines the nature of the controversy between proponents and opponents of Christianity, emphasizing the critical role of the historical truth of the New Testament narratives. He lays the groundwork for his argument by categorizing the objections made by sceptics: that miracles are impossible, incredible, or lack sufficient historical evidence. He asserts his intention to address each of these claims systematically. The substantial focus is on establishing that the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as a pivotal miracle, presents a compelling historical case that supports the entire framework of Christian doctrine, thereby legitimizing the New Testament accounts as credible historical documents.
