Beyond the spectacular: Exploring the miracle of Christianity

For so long debates concerning miracles have revolved around discussions such as whether the present, future, and even the past can be altered by supernatural intervention, or whether God can break the laws of nature. Indeed, there are even people who wonder whether some of the latest scientific theories concerning quantum mechanics lend credibility to, or take it away from, the possibility of a supernatural intervention. While such debates find a happy home in undergraduate philosophy class, this session explores how these debates actually obscure the very thing that they are attempting to illuminate. For the Christian idea of the miraculous is infinitely more radical and incredible than some mere spectacle.

One-time Christian, evangelist and full-time charismatic, Peter is now a Christ-following provocateur, revelation-inspiring lecturer, and founding member of Belfast's Ikon.

(Ikon is a collective which describes itself as iconic, apocalyptic, heretical, emerging and failing)
