Offers a transformative journey through Christian doctrine, invites readers to engage with an intellectually enriching exploration of faith and reason
Systematic Philosophical Theology is a multi-volume explication of Christian doctrine in the classic Protestant tradition of the loci communes. Blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, this landmark series provides readers with a biblically faithful, philosophically coherent articulation of the full range of Christian doctrine.
In the second volume of this series, On God: Attributes of God, renowned theologian and philosopher William Lane Craig describes God's nature as an infinite and personal being of maximal greatness. He carefully defines and explicates divine attributes such as incorporeality, aseity, eternality, omnipresence, omniscience, and holiness. Throughout the text, Craig integrates Scriptural and secular knowledge to engage with deep philosophical questions raised by various doctrines, such as divine necessity, simplicity, omnipotence, and goodness.
The second volume of the Systematic Philosophical Theology series, On God: Attributes of God:
- Presents a rational formulation of Christian doctrine that tackles the profound philosophical questions that arise for Christian doctrine
- Explains strong theories of divine necessity, aseity, omniscience, and omnipotence
- Defends a semi-classical concept of God against coherence objections
- Offers fresh perspectives on traditional concepts, such as God's relationship to abstract objects and God's relationship to time and space
Systematic Philosophical Theology, Volume IIa: On God: Attributes of God is a must-read for philosophers of religion, systematic theologians, analytic theologians, and Christian philosophers. It is also a valuable resource for students and scholars of religion, philosophy of religion, and theology, as well as laypeople and academics in other fields.
