Notes On The Miracles Of Our Lord
By Richard Chenevix Trench
Published by MacMillan And Co: London 1874
"Notes on the Miracles of Our Lord by Richard Chenevix Trench is a thoughtful and influential theological work by one of the leading Anglican scholars of the nineteenth century. Trench, who served as Archbishop of Dublin, approaches the miracles of Christ not as isolated wonders but as deeply symbolic acts imbued with moral, spiritual, and doctrinal meaning. Drawing on close readings of the Gospel texts, patristic sources, and his own philological expertise, he presents the miracles as signs that reveal the character of Christ and the nature of divine grace, rather than as mere suspensions of natural law. The work reflects the Victorian Anglican effort to reconcile faith, reason, and historical criticism at a time of growing intellectual challenge to traditional Christianity.
This 1874 Macmillan edition, issued as the Tenth Edition revised, demonstrates the enduring popularity and authority of Trench's interpretations well into the later nineteenth century. His measured, literary style and emphasis on moral theology made the book a standard text for clergy, theological students, and serious lay readers. Well suited to collectors of Victorian religious literature, scholars of Anglican theology, and readers interested in nineteenth-century biblical interpretation and Christological studies."
