This dissertation aims to offer a more comprehensive understanding of Christian miracles in an age of modern science. It achieves this by providing a fresh analysis of philosophical, scientific, and theological investigations from the disciplines of philosophy of religion, natural science, and Christian theology. The project specifically attempts to reconsider the alleged miracle claims from a broader context of God's special providence in the light of Trinitarian theology and an eschatological perspective within the Christian tradition. In response to skeptical interpretations of miracles, this study thus endeavors to demonstrate convincingly that my proposed theory-which affirms miracle claims in question through various scholarly methods and multidisciplinary frameworks-suggests a more adequate and inclusive explanation for miracles than either uncritically accepting them based on religious faith alone while taking them literally, or merely dismissing them as conflicting with science.My theory of miracle takes an incompatibilist-eschatological position, suggesting that miracles are highly unusual and unrepeatable incidents that are not only temporary exceptions to the nature's ordinary course of work, but also seem inexplicable by natural causes alone, given the view that God's miraculous actions in the natural order seem to go beyond what can be explicated by scientific laws (thus "incompatible")-regardless of advances in human understanding of nature. These seemingly law-transcending events would certainly be seen by observers as exceptions to the divinely ordained laws of this world. But I would also highlight the argument that they are in fact events where new natural laws have been applied, which could be transformed from an eschatological new creation operated by God, that began with Jesus' resurrection. Drawing on my working hypothesis of an eschatological pneumatology, I thus propose that reports of miracles from biblical times to the present can be viewed as proleptic examples of the triune God from the eschaton, as it can be asserted that the new natural laws that foretasted the event on the first Easter Sunday were first applied retroactively to the time of Jesus. Moreover, granted the presence of the Spirit of God, claims of miracles in dispute today can also be seen as proleptic actions of the Spirit from the coming kingdom of God, as God's Spirit works retroactively from the new creation.
