Richard Swinburne concludes that despite philosophical objections, most traditional claims about God are coherent (that is, do not involve contradictions); and although some of the most important claims are coherent only if the words by which they are expressed are being used in analogical senses, this is the way in which theologians have usually claimed that they are being used. When the first edition of this book was published in 1977, it was the first book in the new 'analytic' tradition of philosophy of religion to discuss these issues. Since that time there have been very many books and discussions devoted to them, and this new, substantially rewritten, second edition takes account of these discussions and of new developments in philosophy generally over the past 40 years. These discussions have concerned how to analyse the claim that God is 'omnipotent', whether God can foreknow human free actions, whether God is everlasting or timeless, and what it is for God to be a 'necessary being'. On all these issues this new edition has new things to say.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 214mmItem Length: 141mmItem Width: 17mmAuthor: Richard SwinburneGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Clarendon Library of Logic and PhilosophyItem Weight: 378gRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
