summary
In the field of the relationship between science and faith, the word miracle is, for some, very uncomfortable. But what is the reason, what is the result of trying to conceptualize a miraculous event? In general terms, what is a miracle? There is no doubt that this question raises a host of problems today. However, these are not intractable problems. There are doors through which to find exits. These doors can be opened when we understand how the miracle is a limiting concept in the understanding of the relationship between science and faith.
