Two questions regarding contemporary theological and philosophical
studies are often overlooked: “Is God infinite or finite?” and,
“What does it mean to say that God is infinite?” In The
Infinity of God, Benedikt Paul Göcke and Christian Tapp bring
together prominent scholars to discuss God’s infinitude from
philosophical and theological perspectives. Each contributor deals
with a particular aspect of the infinity of God, employing the
methods of analytic theology and analytic philosophy. The essays in
the first section examine historical issues from a systematic point
of view. The contributors focus on the Cappadocian Fathers, Thomas
Aquinas, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Bolzano, and Cantor. The second
section deals with particular issues concerning the relation
between God's infinity and both the finitude of the world and the
classical attributes of God: eternity, simplicity, omnipresence,
omnipotence, omniscience, and moral perfection. There are some
books that deal with the notion of infinity in mathematics and in
general philosophy, but no single text brings together the best
analytic philosophers and theologians tackling the various aspects
of the infinity of God and the correlated problems. This book will
interest students and scholars in philosophy of religion, theology,
and metaphysics. Contributors: Benedikt Paul Göcke, Christian
Tapp, Franz Krainer, Adam Drosdek, William E. Carroll, Christina
Schneider, Ruben Schneider, Robert M. Wallace, Bruce A. Hedman,
Bernhard Lang, Richard Swinburne, Kenneth L. Pearce, William
Hasker, Paul Helm, Brian Leftow, Ken Perszyk, Thomas Schärtl, and
Philip Clayton.
