Abstract
An extract taken from volume 11, number 44 of Bibliotheca Sacra and American biblical repository, containing an article by Edward Hitchcock emphasizing God's influence on nature. Hitchcock notes that all of nature was set in motion by God and should be appreciated, but people often only focus on miracles. He discusses the influence of God on nature in ways considered both "natural" and "supernatural." He explains the difference between miracles and special providence, claiming the former cannot be explained by the laws of nature and the latter can, but stresses that both are the result of God's intentions. He goes on to describe what he sees as scientific evidence for special providence. A footnote to the article indicates that Hitchcock delivered this paper at the anniversaries of the Newton and Bangor Theological Seminaries. The first page indicates that Hitchcock's article begins on p. 776 of the extract.
