    Miracles in an Age of Disbelief

    Michael Grosso

    Anomalist Books 2020

    Pb, £12, 228pp, ISBN 9781949501131

    A new book about miracles might seem a throwback, conjuring up a boringly predictable debate about why God is willing to annoy rationalist materialists by interfering with his own creation. Worry no further! Here’s a sane, erudite and engrossing study that banishes the mists of eschatological obfuscation to say something fresh and relevant to modern readers. Michael Grosso wants “to save miracles from the dogmatic clutches of religion and science” (my emphasis).
