This book is the first of two volumes collecting together Michael
C. Rea's most substantial work in analytic theology. This volume
considers the nature of God and our ability to talk and discover
truths about God, whereas the companion volume focuses on
theological questions about humanity and the human condition. The
chapters in the first part of Volume I explore issues pertaining to
discourse about God and the authority of scripture. Part two
focuses on divine attributes, while part three discusses doctrine
of the trinity and related issues.
In From Laws to Liturgy, Edward Epsen offers a constructive account
of what God produces in the act of creation and how it is
ontologically ordered and governed. Inspired by the philosophy of
Bishop Berkeley (18th century), Epsen proposes that the physical
world is produced by the way God ordains the course of possible
human sensations, with angels executing the divine ordinances.
Idealism is here re-attached to a tradition of Christian Platonism,
updating the traditional notions of the aeon, angelic government,
and the divine ideas, so as to be capable of explanatory work in
regard to the philosophical problems of perception and induction:
the objectivity and observability of the world are explained by a
unified sacramental economy of the Eucharist.
