Miracle in the common sense refers to the astonishing events, super human powers outside the ordinary course of nature and supernatural events. The miracles of Jesus in Christianity are consider as confirming the divine nature. One of the miracles of Christ, (resurrection) according to St. Paul is so essential that the existence of Christianity is impossible without it; therefore studying argument of Miracle is important for scholars of study of religions. This paper addresses new traditions of Christian reason to prove the existence of God through Miracle by Librarian method and descriptive- analytical approach. The old traditions of the miracle have been challenged with the Reviews of Hume, McKinnon and Flo. Theologians, encounterhng these problems, adopted two issues. A group like Tillich and Holland, tried to put miracle out of its original concept and through a new definition of miracles to make it defendable. i.e they tried  to defend Miracle throug  changing its meaning. The other group likes Richard Swinburn accepting these problems with such argument by accepting the subject of “the traditional definition of a miracle” through argumental ordering and tries to abstain Carrying the old order – the impossibility of miracles – on this issue (a miracle).
