Parrish, Geoffrey. “Kingsley and a Victorian
View of Miracles,” Faith and Freedom Vol. 38, No. 114, Part 3 (Autumn
1985): 151-157.
Parrish examines Kingsley’s view of miracles as expressed in Alton
Locke. It is probable that it is Kingsley’s own view that Dean
Winstay expresses, namely that science and revealed religion, though separate,
are complementary sources of knowledge, each enjoying its own sphere of
competence. Parrish makes three points concerning Kingsley’s opinion
on miracles. “There must be a theistic interpretation of the universe,
there must be a belief in the Incarnation, and from these two there comes
the conviction that if Jesus is what Christians believe him to be, he can
do what others cannot, because he knows what the laws of nature really
are” (156).
