This paper analyzes the phenomenon of miracles from the perspective of Protestant Christian faith, aiming to articulate a critical and historical reflection in dialogue with philosophy, science and biblical hermeneutics. It considers the miracle not merely as an apparent breach of natural laws but as a supernatural sign manifesting divine sovereignty, sustaining hope and confirming God’s revelation in Christ. Revisiting contributions from classical authors like Augustine, Calvin and Kierkegaard, as well as contemporary thinkers like C.S. Lewis, the study reaffirms, in the end, the supremacy of Scripture as the ultimate standard of faith and practice. It concludes that the miracle remains a real event, an act of God transcending historical and scientific criticism, remaining essential to Christian faith.
