The concept of God according to traditional Judeo-Christian-Islamic
theism minimally includes the following theses: (i) There is one
God; (ii) God is an omniscient, omnipotent, and morally perfect
agent; (iii) God is the creator ex nihilo of the universe and the
sustainer of all that exists; and (iv) God is an immaterial
substance that is ontologically distinct from the universe.
Proponents of alternative concepts of God, such as pantheism,
panentheism, religious anti-realism, developmental theism, and
religious naturalism, exclude at least one of these claims. A
number of prominent philosophers and scientists have expressed
sympathy with alternative concepts of the divine. However, voices
raised in defense of these concepts tend not to be taken seriously
in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. This volume aims
to shed light on alternative concepts of God and to thoroughly
consider their merits and demerits. The contributors are leading
analytic philosophers of religion, including critics of these views
as well as sympathizers. This is the first contemporary edited
collection featuring the work of analytic philosophers of religion
covering such a wide range of alternative concepts of God.
