Contested and assertions
Hi
I didn't find contested as an adj and not sure what is mean in this context
Does assertions mean "Claims"?
"Miracles give a religion its original impetus, its evidence that God intervenes
in human life, while at the same time they are its most contested assertions."

Contest ed is the past participle, many of which are used as adjectives. It means challenged [John contested his father's will because he was left out of it]. Yes, assertions = claims
