David Hume probably had a greater impact on the field of philosophy of religion than any other single philosopher.

These volumes collect responses to Hume’s writings on religion published during his life and posthumously. The set covers a wide range of the replies Hume’s writings provoked, including contributions by Philip Skelton, William Adams, Thomas Rutherforth, William Warburton, Anthony Ellys, John Douglas, John Leland, Thomas Stona, Voltaire, George Campbell, Herman Andrew Pistorius, Duncan Shaw, William Samuel Powell, Thomas Hayter, Joseph Milner, William Paley, Charles Moore, Richard Joseph Sulivan, John Hey, Samuel Vince, Lord Brougham and Thomas De Quincey.

Table of contents: 

PART I.
Miracles are capable of proof from testimony, and religious miracles are not less capable on this evidence than others.

SECT.
I. Mr Hume’s favourite argument is founded on a false hypothesis.
II. Mr Hume charged with some fallacies in his way of managing the argument.
III. Mr Hume himself gives up his favourite argument.
IV. There is no peculiar presumption against such miracles as are said to have been wrought in support of religion.
V. There is a peculiar presumption in favour of such miracles as are said to have been wrought in support of religion.
VI. Inquiry into the meaning and propriety of one of Mr Hume’s favourite maxims.

PART II.
The miracles on which the belief of Christianity is founded, Are sufficiently attested.

SECT.
I. There is no presumption arising from human nature, against the miracles said to have been wrought in proof of Christianity.
II. There is no presumption arising from the history of mankind, against the miracles said to have been wrought in proof of Christianity.
III. No miracles recorded by historians of other religions are subversive of the evidence arising from the miracles wrought in proof of Christianity, or can be considered as contrary testimony.
IV. Examination of the PAGAN miracles mentioned by Mr Hume.
V. Examination of the POPISH miracles mentioned by Mr Hume.
VI. Abstracting from the evidence for particular facts, we have irrefragable evidence, that there have been miracles in former times;

or such events as, when compared with the present constitution of the world, would by Mr Hume be denominated miraculous.

VII. Revisal of Mr Hume’s examination of the Pentateuch.
