This book examines theology and the idea of a superior being in
the context of game theory. The central question posed in this book
is: If there existed a superior being who possessed the
supernatural qualities of omniscience, omnipotence, immortality,
and incomprehensibility, how would he/she act differently from
us?
The mathematical theory of games is used to define each of these
qualities, and different assumptions about the rules of play in
several theological games that might be played between ordinary
human beings and superior beings like God are posited.
