The Criterion: Or Rules By Which The True Miracles Recorded In The New Testament Are Distinguished From The Spurious Miracles Of Pagans And Papists is a book written by John Douglas in 1832. The book discusses the criteria by which one can distinguish between the true miracles recorded in the New Testament and the false miracles claimed by pagans and Catholics. Douglas argues that the true miracles in the New Testament are based on the principles of reason, truth, and morality, while the false miracles are based on superstition, fraud, and deception. The book provides a detailed analysis of various miracles mentioned in the New Testament and compares them with the purported miracles of other religions. It also discusses the role of miracles in the Christian faith and their significance in validating the claims of Christ and his followers. The Criterion is a valuable resource for students of theology and anyone interested in the history and philosophy of religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
