Twitter version I

Bloesch reasons naturalism philosophically reduces humans to creatures that commit instinctual drives. Bloesch (1987: 174).

Twitter version II

Miracles are not typical, but were primarily used in the New Testament to highlight the ministry of Christ. Klein, Blomberg, and Hubbard (1993: 340).

This is both a cited theological view and also one I hold to within my Reformed theology.
