Book Description God is sovereign. God is perfect. God is
immutable. God created everything. God is triune. The Son of God
was incarnate in Jesus Christ. The essential tenets of classical
theism regarding the doctrine of God can be stated fairly easily.
However, questions have been raised regarding the coherence of
these beliefs taken as a whole. Some have seen fit to abandon
classical theism. Others have acknowledged tensions in the
traditional concept of God and have sought to resolve them by means
of making significant concessions. Jay Wesley Richards believes
that classical theism with its biblical norm can and ought to be
maintained. He shows how a philosophical defense, using the
analytical tools of modal logic, can be mounted that preserves
traditional Christian beliefs. Richards astutely defends
essentialism, arguing that it is both intrinsic to the Christian
understanding of God and preserves the contingency of creation and
the God-world relation. To further clarify and defend his proposal
he engages appreciatively and critically the thought of Karl Barth
and Charles Hartshorne as well as addressing the related and
currently debated matters of divine simplicity and immutability.
