God, Eternity, and Time (Paperback): Christian Tapp God, Eternity, and Time (Paperback)
Christian Tapp; Edmund Runggaldier
R1,401 Discovery Miles 14 010 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"God is eternal" is a standard belief of all theistic religions. But what does it mean? If, on the one hand, "eternal" means timeless, how can God hear the prayers of the faithful at some point of time? And how can a timeless God act in order to answer the prayers? If God knows what I will do tomorrow from all eternity, how can I be free to choose what to do? If, on the other hand, "eternal" means everlasting, does that not jeopardize divine majesty? How can everlastingness be reconciled with the traditional doctrines of divine simplicity and perfection? An outstanding group of American, UK, German, Austrian, and Swiss philosophers and theologians discuss the problem of God's relation to time. Their contributions range from analyzing and defending classical conceptions of eternity (Boethius's and Aquinas's) to vindicating everlastingness accounts, and from the foreknowledge problem to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. This book tackles philosophical questions that are of utmost importance for Systematic Theology. Its highest aim is to deepen our understanding of religious faith by surveying its relations to one of the most fundamental aspects of reality: time.

Theologie und Naturwissenschaften (German, Hardcover): Christian Tapp, Christof Breitsameter Theologie und Naturwissenschaften (German, Hardcover)
Christian Tapp, Christof Breitsameter
R2,000 Discovery Miles 20 000 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

How can we say at once that God s act of creation is a rational act and the world is the fulfillment of God s plan, andthat science tries to unlock the secrets of this plan? These perspectives can only be reconciled through a successful teleological interpretation of physical phenomena. Renowned theologians and natural scientists examine this problem from different points of view."

Der Mathematiker David Hilbert entwickelte mit seiner Beweistheorie ein Programm zur Grundlegung der Mathematik. In der ersten deutschsprachigen Monographie zum Thema bietet der Autor neue Deutungen des Hilbertprogramms. Ausgehend von den historischen Quellen stellt er die Frage neu, ob Hilbert eine formalistische Philosophie der Mathematik voraussetzte. Er macht die Fulle der Ideen sichtbar, die Hilbert und seine Schuler formulierten, diskutiert anspruchsvolle philosophische Implikationen und raumt mit einer Reihe von Fehlinterpretationen auf."

The Infinity of God - New Perspectives in Theology and Philosophy (Hardcover): Benedikt Paul Göcke, Christian Tapp The Infinity of God - New Perspectives in Theology and Philosophy (Hardcover)

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.
