The Coherence of Theism investigates what it means, and whether it
is coherent, to say that there is a God. Richard Swinburne
concludes that despite philosophical objections, most traditional
claims about God are coherent (that is, do not involve
contradictions); and although some of the most important claims are
coherent only if the words by which they are expressed are being
used in analogical senses, this is the way in which theologians
have usually claimed that they are being used. When the first
edition of this book was published in 1977, it was the first book
in the new 'analytic' tradition of philosophy of religion to
discuss these issues. Since that time there have been very many
books and discussions devoted to them, and this new, substantially
rewritten, second edition takes account of these discussions and of
new developments in philosophy generally over the past 40 years.
These discussions have concerned how to analyse the claim that God
is 'omnipotent', whether God can foreknow human free actions,
whether God is everlasting or timeless, and what it is for God to
be a 'necessary being'. On all these issues this new edition has
new things to say.
