Abstrak

This article explores Augustine of Hippo’s conception of miracles. It places a particular emphasis on the metaphysics of the natural order in Augustine’s works The Trinity and The Literal Meaning of Genesis to dispute subjectivist and interventionist readings of Augustinian miracles. Rather, this article argues that Augustine offers a metaphysically robust conception of miracles that upholds an intimate connection between God and nature while respecting the intrinsic wonder of miracles. In light of this, this article considers how a deep and wide engagement with Augustine’s thought may help provide alternative approaches to the prevailing philosophical and theological orthodoxies regarding miracles.
