This book offers the most extensive exploration of divine temporality to date. It focuses on five main questions. First, what is time? Second, how is God responsible for the existence of time? Third, what does it mean to say that God is temporal? Fourth, what kind of structure might God give to a time series? Fifth, what are the implications for theological doctrines such as the Trinity, creation, providence, and life after death? The author offers a deep, critical engagement with the Christian tradition but also goes beyond to build analytic bridges to Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, and Jainist philosophical theology. The book provides an up-to-date discussion of issues within analytic metaphysics, philosophy of time, and philosophy of religion and draws on the resources of contemporary systematic, historical, and biblical theology.

Is time a creation of God? How can God be considered eternal, if he is responsible for the existence of time? Is God temporal or is he timeless? The relationship between God and time has been an object of inquiry in philosophical and theological traditions around the world for centuries. This volume takes up these and other questions, presenting a range of answers not only as brought forth in European philosophical traditions and in early Christianity, Judaism and Islam, but also positions taken by mediaeval Indian theologians and in the influential traditions of early Buddhism. Traditionally, discussions have focused on questions such as whether time is a necessary concomitant of God’s existence, or whether time should be identified with God. But there is a further question: did these traditions develop their own unrelated and independent view of God and time? Or are there similarities in their reflections? This volume, with contributions of scholars from various relevant fields, offers a novel approach to these inquiries. When taken as a whole, it provides new momentum to contemplation on an age-old enigma.

The Death Of Omnipotence And Birth Of Amipotence

Omnipotence is dead. At least it should be. It has no biblical support. And it dies a death of a thousand qualifications in philosophy. Those harmed and hurting wonder why an omnipotent God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The problem of evil buries omnipotence six feet under. But the death of omnipotence is not the death of God. In this ground-breaking book, best-selling and award-winning author Thomas Jay Oord explains why omnipotence should be rejected. But Oord offers a replacement: amipotence, the power of uncontrolling love. If we think love shapes and guides God's power, we make better sense of life. And better sense of the Bible. Amipotence explains why God doesn't prevent genuine evil and overcomes other obstacles to belief. An amipotent Spirit empowers all that is loving, true, beautiful, and good. No book makes a bolder but more needed argument for why God is not all-powerful. In this book, those who care about love, scripture, and logic find what they've been looking for. Get a copy of The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence! Endorsements: "Omnipotence has long been considered a basic, non-negotiable, characteristic of God. But is it biblical? And does it push us toward theological landmines that blow up faith? In this book, Oord, with his typical gentle candor, lays out the complex issues in clear and readable chunks. In the end, Oord points to the beauty and comfort of a God who is uncontrolling love." - Peter Enns, professor of biblical studies at Eastern University, author of Curveball "Thomas Jay Oord challenges one of the most fundamental attributes of God—omnipotence. He discloses that a narrow view of God as ‘Almighty’ is neither biblical nor adequately describes the God of Jesus Christ. Oord offers a new view of God as ‘amipotent.’ The power of God is the power of love, and the power of unconditional love is our strength. Oord has made an important contribution to restoring the biblical God, a God who is ever faithful in love, not a power over us but the power beneath our wings." - Ilia Delio, OSF, Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology, Villanova University "Omnipotence is widely believed to be one of the most important attributes of God. In this book, Thomas Jay Oord proposes a highly original and thought-provoking thesis: instead of omnipotent, God should be considered ‘amipotent.’ This is an important book which can radically change the way we approach central problems in philosophy of religion and philosophical theology." - Yujin Nagasawa, H. G. Wood Professor of the Philosophy of Religion, University of Birmingham "Finally God’s love has been saved from God’s control—faithfully, definitively, attractively! In this vibrantly accessible work, Thomas Jay Oord puts to rest the demoralizing, incoherent, and by the way nonbiblical notion of controlling omnipotence, used to justify endless injustice. In its stead, he unleashes ‘amipotence’— code for the power of love. Its time has come: preach it, teach it, live it!" - Catherine Keller, Drew Theological School, and Author of Political Theology of Love "This book provides a provocative argument that cannot be easily dismissed. This is the kind of nuance that contemporary debates over models of God need to consider." - R.T. Mullins, Professor of Philosophical Theology, University of Lucerne "Oord charts a path to theological freedom from the tyranny of an omnipotent God. This book is theology at its best: grounded in scripture, rooted in love, and engaged with brilliant and spirit-filled minds. If you have found yourself (rightfully!) unable to accept the horrifying implications of omnipotence but struggle to conceive of a God worth calling “God” ... good news! This is the book for you." - Sarah Lane Ritchie, Science & Religion Scholar

What Jesus Didn T Know A Defense Of Kenotic Christology written by James Agnew and has been published by James Agnew this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2025-01-28 with Religion categories.

Does Jesus know everything? If so, why does he say he doesn’t know the hour of his second coming? Why is he described as growing in wisdom? On the other hand, if he doesn’t know everything, then is he still divine? The controversial doctrine of Kenotic Christology offers a simple solution to these questions by positing that Jesus voluntarily emptied himself of certain abilities and knowledge at the incarnation. However, critics have claimed this solution compromises the deity of Christ. Engaging, rigorous and rooted in Scripture, this work argues that Kenotic Christology not only upholds the divinity of Jesus but also provides the best lens for understanding depictions of his humanity. What Jesus Didn’t Know challenges readers to rethink divinity, omniscience, and the radical humility of Christ.

This Element shows Open theism as a monotheist model of God according to which the future is objectively open-ended, not just from the finite perspective of creation, but from God's perspective as well. This Element has three main sections. The first carefully defines open theism, distinguishes its major variants, compares it to other monotheistic models, and summarizes its history. The second develops biblical and philosophical arguments for open theism against its main rivals, emphasizing a novel philosophical argument that a causally open future must also be ontically, alethically, epistemically, and providentially open as well. The third responds to common objections against open theism related to perfect being theology, the ethics of risk-taking, biblical prophecy, and theological tradition.

Existential Inertia And Classical Theistic Proofs written by Joseph C. Schmid and has been published by Springer Nature this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-11-29 with Philosophy categories.

This book critically assesses arguments for the existence of the God of classical theism, develops an innovative account of objects’ persistence, and defends new arguments against classical theism. The authors engage the following classical theistic proofs: Aquinas’s First Way, Aquinas’s De Ente argument, and Feser’s Aristotelian, Neo-Platonic, Augustinian, Thomistic, and Rationalist proofs. The authors also provide the first systematic treatment of the ‘existential inertia thesis’. By connecting the thesis to relativity theory and recent developments in the philosophy of physics, and by developing a variety of novel existential-inertia-friendly explanations of persistence, they mount a formidable new case against classical theistic proofs. Finally, they defend new arguments against classical theism based on abstract objects and changing divine knowledge. The text appeals to students, researchers, and others interested in classical theistic proofs, the existence and nature of God, and the ultimate explanations of persistence, change, and contingency.

La omnipotencia está muerta. Al menos debería de estarlo. No tiene apoyo bíblico. Y muere una muerte de mil calificativos en filosofía. Aquellos dañados y heridos se preguntan por qué un Dios omnipotente no previene su dolor sin sentido. El problema del mal entierra la omnipotencia seis pies bajo tierra. Pero la muerte de la omnipotencia no es la muerte de Dios. En este libro innovador, el autor ganador de premios y bestseller, Thomas Jay Oord, explica por qué se debe rechazar la omnipotencia. Pero Oord ofrece un reemplazo: amipotencia, el poder del amor sin control. Si pensamos que el amor moldea y guía el poder de Dios, le damos un mejor sentido a la vida. Y mejor sentido a la Biblia. Amipotencia explica por qué Dios no previene el mal genuino y supera otros obstáculos a la creencia. Un Espíritu amipotente empodera todo lo que es amoroso, verdadero, bello y bueno. Ningún libro presenta un argumento más audaz pero más necesario de por qué Dios no es todopoderoso. Aquellos que se preocupan por el amor, las escrituras y la lógica encuentran lo que han estado buscando. ¡Obtenga un ejemplar de La Muerte de la Omnipotencia y el Nacimiento de la Amipotencia hoy! Endosos: "La omnipotencia se ha considerado durante mucho tiempo una característica básica, no negociable, de Dios. Pero, ¿es bíblica? ¿Y nos empuja hacia minas terrestres teológicas que hacen estallar la fe? En este libro, Oord, con su típica franqueza amable, expone los temas complejos en fragmentos claros y legibles. Al final, Oord señala la belleza y el consuelo de un Dios que es amor incontrolable". - Peter Enns, profesor de estudios bíblicos en Eastern University, autor de Curveball “Thomas Jay Oord desafía uno de los atributos más fundamentales de Dios: la omnipotencia. Revela que una visión estrecha de Dios como 'Todopoderoso' no es bíblica ni describe adecuadamente al Dios de Jesucristo. Oord ofrece una nueva visión de Dios como 'amipotente'. El poder de Dios es el poder del amor, y el poder del amor incondicional es nuestra fuerza. Oord ha hecho una contribución importante para restaurar al Dios bíblico, un Dios que siempre es fiel en amor, no un poder sobre nosotros sino el poder debajo de nuestras alas”. - Ilia Delio, OSF, Cátedra Josephine C. Connelly de Teología, Villanova University "Finalmente, el amor de Dios ha sido rescatado del control de Dios, ¡fielmente, definitivamente, de manera atractiva! En este trabajo vibrantemente accesible, Thomas Jay Oord pone fin a la noción desmoralizadora, incoherente y, por cierto, no bíblica de controlar la omnipotencia, utilizada para justificar la injusticia sin fin. En su lugar, desata la 'amipotencia', código para el poder del amor. Ha llegado su hora: ¡predícalo, enséñalo, vívelo!" - Catherine Keller, Drew Theological School y autora de Teología Política del Amor "Este libro proporciona un argumento provocador que no se puede descartar fácilmente. Este es el tipo de matiz que deben tener en cuenta los debates contemporáneos sobre los modelos de Dios". - RT Mullins, Profesor de Teología Filosófica, Lucerne University "Oord traza un camino hacia la libertad teológica de la tiranía de un Dios omnipotente. Este libro es teología en su máxima expresión: basado en las Escrituras, arraigado en el amor y comprometido con mentes brillantes y llenas de espíritu. Si te has encontrado a ti mismo (¡con razón! incapaz de aceptar las horribles implicaciones de la omnipotencia, pero lucha por concebir un Dios que valga la pena llamar "Dios"... ¡buenas noticias! Este es el libro para ti". -Sarah Lane Ritchie, erudita de Ciencia y Religión

Impeccability And Temptation written by Johannes Grössl and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-04-12 with Religion categories.

In Christian theology, the teaching that Christ possessed both a human and divine will is central to the doctrine of two natures, but it also represents a logical paradox, raising questions about how a person can be both impeccable and subject to temptation. This volume explores these questions through an analytic theology approach, bringing together 15 original papers that explore the implications of a strong libertarian concept of free will for Christology. With perspectives from systematic theologians, philosophers, and biblical scholars, several chapters also offer a comparative theology approach, examining the concept of impeccability in the Muslim tradition. Therefore, this volume will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in analytic theology, biblical scholarship, systematic theology, and Christian-Islamic dialogue.
