Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Advances in Theistic Philosophy of Religion Without entering into all the reasons which have weighed with me in this attempt, I would point out that the endeavour is one of paramount im portance and urgency, so long as theistic writers of undoubted ability are to be found who certainly succeed in creating an impression so unfavourable to the Progressiveness of Theism as to be precisely the opposite of that which it is my desire to deepen and produce by trying to establish and exhibit the progressive character of recent Theistic Philosophy. For, progressive in a most real sense I maintain it is, as I hope in succeeding pages to make evident in a way different from what has before been done, when we shall have viewed the new vast increase of knowledge with its wealth of scientific result for theistic thought, and surveyed the new views of the methods of development of the physical universe in their bearings upon the intellectual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Advances in Theistic Philosophy of Religion The unusually favourable reception accorded in the most competent quarters to my former work on 'The Progressiveness of Modern Christian Thought' has led me to prepare the present and much larger volume. As that work sought to vindicate the Progressiveness of Christian Theology in general, so this contends for the Progressiveness of Theism in particular, and seeks more especially to prove the actual progressiveness of recent theistic thought. This I have deemed worthy of separate endeavour for reasons that seem to me to be specially weighty in connection with theistic thought.

Book Synopsis A Philosophical System of Theistic Idealism (Classic Reprint) by : James Lindsay
Download or read book A Philosophical System of Theistic Idealism (Classic Reprint) written by James Lindsay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Philosophical System of Theistic Idealism The history of this work is soon told. I had some growing desire, subsequent to the issue of my large work entitled 'recent Advances in Theistic Philosophy of Religion, ' to write in a specific way on Theistic Idealism. That was already made evident in my 'studies in European Philo sophy.' But that desire was still too vague and formless when Dr Rashdall's review of the latter work appeared in 'mind.' It was to me a great encouragement to find so eminent a critic expressing the wish that I would under take a systematic exposition and defence of Theistic Idealism. For that suggestion I now offer Dr Rashdall my best thanks. Much of the credit of this work, whatever that may be, is due to the wish so definitely and kindly expressed, although the suggestion lay in my mind for a long time before it took actual root. Then, in a time of solitary reflection, the whole subject was so forcefully borne in upon my mind, that I had no alternative than to set to work.

Book Synopsis The Existence of God by : Richard Swinburne
Download or read book The Existence of God written by Richard Swinburne and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Swinburne presents a substantially rewritten and updated edition of his most celebrated book. No other work has made a more powerful case for the probability of the existence of God. Swinburne gives a rigorous and penetrating analysis of the most important arguments for theism: the cosmological argument; arguments from the existence of laws of nature and the 'fine-tuning' of the universe; from the occurrence of consciousness and moral awareness; and from miracles and religious experience. He claims that while none of these arguments are deductively valid, they do give inductive support to theism and that, even when the argument from evil is weighed against them, taken together they offer good grounds to support the probability that there is a God. The overall structure of the discussion and its conclusion have been retained for this new edition, but much has been changed in order to strengthen the argumentation and to take account of Swinburne's subsequent work on the nature of consciousness and the problem of evil, and of the latest philosophical and scientific writing, especially in respect of the laws of nature and the argument from fine-tuning. This is now the definitive version of a classic in the philosophy of religion.

Book Synopsis Classical Theism by : Jonathan Fuqua
Download or read book Classical Theism written by Jonathan Fuqua and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a contemporary account of classical theism. It features sixteen original essays from leading scholars that advance the discussion of classical theism in new and interesting directions. It's safe to say that classical theism--the view that God is simple, omniscient, and the greatest possible being--is no longer the assumed view in analytic philosophy of religion. It is often dismissed as being rooted in outdated metaphysical systems of the sort advanced by ancient and medieval philosophers. The main purpose of this volume is twofold: to provide a contemporary account of what classical theism is and to advance the scholarly discussion about classical theism. In Section I, the contributors offer a clear and cutting-edge account of the nature and existence of the God and the historical and theological foundations of classical theism. Section II contains chapters on a variety of topics, such as whether classical theism's doctrine of simplicity needs revision, whether simplicity is compatible with the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, and whether the hypothesis of a multiplicity of divine ideas is consistent with divine simplicity, among others. Classical Theism will appeal to scholars and advanced students in philosophy of religion who are interested in the nature of God.

Book Synopsis God or the Divine? by : Bernhard Nitsche
Download or read book God or the Divine? written by Bernhard Nitsche and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a language of transcendence which does not fall under the well-worn categories of monism, theism, pantheism, biblical or pagan monotheism, personal or tripersonal God, or an impersonal absolute, conceived as immanent and/or transcendent? The present set of studies from different fields of research centers on the question whether it is possible to speak at all of transcendence or a divinity, and if it is, under what limitations does such speech proceed. In current discussion in theology and in philosophy of religion, there is a pervasive awareness that the inherited terms and alternatives, developed in the western tradition, no longer facilitate an adequate understanding of the divine. Increasing familiarity with the languages of ‘immanence’ and ‘transcendence’ (under erasure) in Hindu and Buddhist thought has further jumbled our coordinates, while holding out the promise of a more subtle and vital engagement with the matter itself of religious inquiry. A further long-established distinction, between ‘personal’ and ‘impersonal,’ also takes on rich new hues in Asian contexts, where the very notion of ‘person’ may undergo unsettling critiques. Transgressing the categories of ‘personal’ and ‘impersonal’ points to the mystical depth of religious traditions, emphasizes their openness and reintegrates essential elements of both perspectives. Advancing with curiosity and caution, all the contributors take seriously the diversity of historical religious traditions, while nevertheless searching for a fresh language that may connect these traditions and provide a common ground of understanding.
Book Synopsis Readings in the Philosophy of Religion - Second Edition by : Kelly James Clark
Download or read book Readings in the Philosophy of Religion - Second Edition written by Kelly James Clark and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2008-02-14 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the first edition, the second edition of Readings in the Philosophy of Religion covers topics in a point-counterpoint manner, specifically designed to foster deep reflection. Unique to this collection is the section on the divine attributes. The book’s focus is on issues of fundamental human concern—God’s suffering, hell, prayer, feminist theology, and religious pluralism. All of these are shown, in a lengthy introduction, to relate to the standard issues in philosophical theology—omnipotence, omniscience, immutability, goodness, and eternity. For this second edition, each major section ends with an extended reflection by a philosopher who shows how to think through the issues raised in the preceding essays. Also included are a new section on the ontological argument with classical discussions by Anselm and Gaunilo, along with a new essay by Laura Garcia; a new section on religious language; new essays on the free will defense, theodicies, and feminist theology; and a new version of the cosmological argument that does not rely on the principle of sufficient reason.
Book Synopsis Experience of God and the Rationality of Theistic Belief by : Jerome I. Gellman
Download or read book Experience of God and the Rationality of Theistic Belief written by Jerome I. Gellman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerome I. Gellman observes that the mystic experience of God's presence, a sense of having direct contact with the divine, often compels belief in God's existence. On the basis of widely accepted principles connecting appearance with reality, Gellman contends, the claims people make of having experienced God show that belief in God is strongly rational, meaning that such claims are sufficient in number and variety to support a line of reasoning making it rational to believe that God exists and irrational to deny God's existence. Gellman considers challenges to his thinking based on epistemological grounds and challenges growing out of the diversity of religious experiences across the range of world religions. He thoroughly evaluates reductionist explanations of apparent experiences of God and finds them incapable of invalidating his view. Finally, he directs his attention to the two most compelling arguments against the existence of God: the charge that the idea of a perfect being is logically incoherent, and the threat to theism based on the existence of evil, in both its logical and probabilistic forms. Until and unless stronger objections come along, he concludes, personal experiences of God constitute sufficient evidence of God's existence.

Book Synopsis Christian Theism and a Spiritual Monism by : William Lowe Walker
Download or read book Christian Theism and a Spiritual Monism written by William Lowe Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Theism and a Spiritual Monism: God, Freedom, and Immorality in View of Monistic Evolution He has sought to lead gradually up to this Spiritual Monism, and to set it forth as clearly as possible. If he has ventured to touch on some aspects of the current Idealistic Philosophy, it is because he believes that its conclusions need to be reached in a more objective and direct manner. To some extent what is attempted is pioneer work, but he has found much help and encourage ment from the writings of Professor Lloyd Morgan, with which he only recently became acquainted. Sir Oliver Lodge - whose interest in the religious problem and contributions towards its solution in harmony with Science are to be warmly welcomed - speaks of any such attempt as is here set forth as a most ambitious one, not likely to be com plete. But he adds the encouraging remark that many may strive to make some contribution towards the great end; and those who think they have a contribution to make, or such a revelation entrusted to them, are bound to express it to the best of their ability, and leave it to their contemporaries and successors to assimilate such portions of it as are true, and to develop it further (life and Matter, p.

Book Synopsis Hidden Divinity and Religious Belief by : Adam Green
Download or read book Hidden Divinity and Religious Belief written by Adam Green and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of new essays written by an international team of scholars is a groundbreaking examination of the problem of divine hiddenness, one of the most dynamic areas in current philosophy of religion. Together, the essays constitute a wide-ranging dialogue on the problem. They balance atheistic and theistic standpoints, and they bring to bear not only on the standard philosophical perspectives but also on insights from Jewish, Muslim, and Eastern Orthodox traditions. The apophatic and the mystical are well-represented too. As a result, the volume throws fresh light on this familiar but important topic in the philosophy of religion. In the process, the volume incorporates contemporary work in epistemology, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. For all these reasons, this book will be of great interest to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of religion and theology.
