The God of classical theism and the doctrine of the Incarnation

International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, 1994
The tradition of classical theism (CT) from Augustine to Aquinas developed a philosophical theology which posited for God a knowledge of the world that Aristotle's first unmoved mover arguably lacked. Yet this timelessly eternal God was still viewed as essentially simple and immutable.

Classical Theism and the Problem of Animal Suffering

Theological Studies, 2017
In the Western theological tradition, nonhuman suffering was not perceived as a “live” problem until the early modern period. Constrained by classical theism, the early modern figures of René Descartes, Anne Conway, and G.W.

The Neo‐Classical Challenge to Classical Theism

Philosophy Compass, 2022
The classical theist tradition represented by thinkers like Anselm and Aquinas predicates several remarkable attributes of God, most notably simplicity or lack of parts of any kind. Neo‐classical theists have recently developed several lines of criticism of these attributes.

Classical Theism and Pantheism: a Victory for Process Theism?

Religious Studies, 1977
In Anselm's Discovery, Professor Hartshorne makes the rather startling and (I think) counterintuitive claim that ‘…there is indeed no issue between theism and pantheism. We all exist in the divine being, as St Paul said.’1 Classical or orthodox theists, it seems eminently fair to say, can be expected to recoil from any such suggestion with more than a ...

Classical theism and the multiverse

Introduction to Classical Theism

2012
“Classical theism” is the name given to the model of God we find in Platonic, neo-Platonic, and Aristotelian philosophy and in Christian, Muslim, and Jewish thinkers who appropriate those traditions of classical Greek philosophy. The God of classical theism is unqualifiedly perfect, where “perfection” is conceived in ways congenial to the mind of Greek

Classical Theism and the Doctrine of the Trinity

Religious Studies, 1994
It is well known that Augustine, Boethius, Anselm and Aquinas participated in a tradition of philosophical theology which determined God to be simple, perfect, immutable and timelessly eternal. Within the parameters of such an Hellenic understanding of the divine nature, they sought a clarification of one of the fundamental teachings of their Christian
