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.

Cognitive Science of Religion and Classical Theism: A Synthesis [PDF]

Religions, 2022
Launonen and Mullins argue that if Classical Theism is true, human cognition is likely not theism-tracking, at least, given what we know from cognitive science of religion. In this essay, we develop a model for how classical theists can make sense of the

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.

Panentheism and Classical Theism

Sophia, 2012
Panentheism seems to be an attractive alternative to classical theism. It is not clear, though, what exactly panentheism asserts and how it relates to classical theism.

Classical theism and the multiverse

International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, 2019
Some analytic philosophers of religion argue that theists should embrace the hypothesis of the multiverse to address the problem of evil and make the concept of a “best possible creation” plausible. I discuss what classical theists, such as Augustine, Anselm, and Aquinas, might make of the multiverse hypothesis including issues such as: the principle ...
