Counterfeit Miracles is a book written by Benjamin B. Warfield, a prominent American theologian and professor of theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. The book is a critical examination of the claims of miraculous events, particularly those associated with the Pentecostal and charismatic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.In this book, Warfield argues that many of the claims of miraculous events are not genuine, but rather are the result of psychological or emotional manipulation, or outright fraud. He asserts that true miracles, as described in the Bible, are rare and extraordinary events that are unmistakably supernatural in nature, and that the claims of modern-day miracles do not meet this standard.Warfield also explores the theological implications of the claims of modern-day miracles, arguing that they undermine the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, and lead to a dangerous overemphasis on subjective experiences rather than objective truth.Overall, Counterfeit Miracles is a thought-provoking and challenging critique of the claims of modern-day miracles, and a call to Christians to be discerning and faithful in their pursuit of truth.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1918 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
