An Occasionalist Approach to Miracles

Abstract

This paper aims to propose the basic tenets of an occasionalist approach in characterizing miracles. By extending St. Augustine’s and Said Nursi’s insights regarding miracles, I attempt to develop a coherent, plausible and systematic account of miracles in which every possible finite being is considered to be a miracle. In addition, I will discuss three major objections that might be applicable to my characterization. This paper presents essentially a conceptual analysis of this approach and clears obstacles from the way for further substantive studies within this framework
