Miracles And Laws Of Science: Insights For Contemporary Dialogue On Divine Action From Said Nursi And Thomas Aquinas, Edmund Michael Lazzari

This translation is an attempt to recognize the vast contributions which Vilmar made to this effort and to identify those writings which would serve the church well today. Vilmar left no school of thought or method behind him as other great figures in the German universities often did. There are many reasons for this …
