This analytical and reconstructive paper discusses the issues of a miracle and of revelation
in Christian Wolff’s rationalistic philosophy. The article comprises three major
parts: in the first one I introduce Wolff’s conception of nature, followed by the conception
of the supernatural and the outline of Wolff’s conception of a miracle. In the
second one I talk about the issue of the rationality of revelation based on seven signs
of its genuineness put forward by Wolff. In the third one I discuss the principles of
understanding and interpreting text, especially Scripture. Finally, I evaluate Wolff’s
apologetic strategy and point out that his means of defending both revelation and
religion founded in it, can be very well used against them
