In recent years, God's nature and attributes have been the centre of
numerous attempts at conceptual clarification and critical reflection.
This volume contains, besides an introduction to the method of
philosophical theology, essays on God's love, immutability,
omnipresence, omniscience, simplicity, (im)passibility and omnipotence.
Understanding the Attributes of God is not only a highly readable
survey of recent developments in philosophical theology, but also aims
at making a distinctive contribution. The authors all belong to the
so-called 'Utrecht school' in philosophical theology, whose approach is
characterised by the cross-fertilization of Anglo-Saxon and continental,
philosophical and theological, traditional and recent thinking. This
volume offers a programmatic sample of their work.
