David Hume penned this enquiry in the 1700s, anticipating many of the arguments of skeptics, empiricists, and atheists by centuries. His arguments against miracles and whether or not human testimony provides sufficient evidence for belief in them are raised to the present day, although it must be said that if they are still being raised, they may not be the proverbial 'nail in the coffin' for religion (and Christianity in particular) that skeptical philosophers believe. In this edition, reprinted from the 1777 edition published after Hume's death, the reader is invited to hear the arguments directly, and come to one's own conclusions.
