About God Over All: Divine Aseity And The Challenge Of

Product Description God Over All: Divine Aseity and the Challenge of Platonism is a defense of God's aseity and unique status as the Creator of all things apart from Himself in the face of the challenge posed by mathematical Platonism. After providing the biblical, theological, and philosophical basis for the traditional doctrine of divine aseity, William Lane Craig explains the challenge presented to that doctrine by the Indispensability Argument for Platonism, which postulates the existence of uncreated abstract objects. Craig provides detailed examination of a wide range of responses to that argument, both realist and anti-realist, with a view toward assessing the most promising options for the theist. A synoptic work in analytic philosophy of religion, this groundbreaking volume engages discussions in philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and metaontology. Review "[ God Over All] deserve[s] to be read far beyond [its] obvious audience." -- Simon Hewitt, Philosophia Mathematica "[T]his book is very good...well done."-- Notre Dame Philosophical Review "It is a very good book in analytic theology. It is clear in its structure, sophisticated in its justification, and up-to-date."-- Reading Religion About the Author William Lane Craig is a Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology and at Houston Baptist University.
