    The miracle myth : why belief in the Resurrection and the supernatural Is unjustified / Larry Shapiro.
    by Shapiro, Lawrence A., author.
    New York : Columbia University Press, [2016]
    Description: 
    xvii, 168 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
    Contents: 
    Justified and unjustified belief -- Miracles -- Justifying belief in supernatural causes -- Justifying belief in improbable events -- Evidence for miracles -- Jesus's resurrection -- Should we care that beliefs in miracles are unjustified? -- What is supernatural? -- Supernatural causes.
    Summary: 
    Helping us to think more critically about our belief in the improbable, The Miracle Myth casts a skeptical eye on attempts to justify belief in the supernatural, laying bare the fallacies that such attempts commit. Through arguments and accessible analysis, Larry Shapiro sharpens our critical faculties so we become less susceptible to tales of myths and miracles and learn how, ultimately, to evaluate claims regarding vastly improbable events on our own. Shapiro acknowledges that belief in miracles could be harmless, but cautions against allowing such beliefs to guide how we live our lives. His investigation reminds us of the importance of evidence and rational thinking as we explore the unknown.
