Philosophical theology is aimed primarily at theoretical
understanding of the nature and attributes of God and of God's
relationship to the world and its inhabitants. During the twentieth
century, much of the philosophical community (both in the
Anglo-American analytic tradition and in Continental circles) had
grave doubts about our ability to attain any such understanding. In
recent years the analytic tradition in particular has moved beyond
the biases that placed obstacles in the way of the pursuing
questions located on the interface of philosophy and religion. The
result has been a rebirth of serious, widely-discussed work in
philosophical theology.
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophical Theology attempts both to
familiarize readers with the directions in which this scholarship
has gone and to pursue the discussion into hitherto under-examined
areas. Written by some of the leading scholars in the field, the
essays in the Handbook are grouped in five sections. In the first
("Theological Prolegomena"), articles focus on the authority of
scripture and tradition, on the nature and mechanisms of divine
revelation, on the relation between religion and science, and on
theology and mystery. The next section ("Divine Attributes")
focuses on philosophical problems connected with the central divine
attributes: aseity, omnipotence, omniscience, and the like. In
Section Three ("God and Creation"), essays explore theories of
divine action and divine providence, questions about petitionary
prayer, problems about divine authority and God's relationship to
morality and moral standards, and various formulations of and
responses to the problem of evil. The fourth section ("Topics in
Christian Philosophy") examines philosophical problems that arise
in connection with such central Christian doctrines as the trinity,
the incarnation, the atonement, original sin, resurrection, and the
Eucharist. Finally, Section Five ("Non-Christian Philosophical
Theology") introduces readers to work that is being done in Jewish,
Islamic, and Chinese philosophical theology.
