Divine Nature and Human Language is a collection of twelve essays in philosophical theology by William P. Alston, one of the leading figures in the current renaissance in the philosophy of religion. Using the equipment of contemporary analytical philosophy, Alston explores, partly refashions, and defends a largely traditional conception of God and His work in the world a conception that finds its origins in medieval philosophical theology. These essays fall into two groups: those concerned with theological language (Part 1 of the volume) and those that deal with the nature, status, and activity of God (Parts II and HI). In Part 1, Alston develops a conceptual scheme for discussing the topic of theological language. He also argues that there is a core of literal talk about God and even a core of predicates univocally applicable to God and creatures. Furthermore, he shows that God can be referred to directly as well as descriptively. In Parts II and III, the author sketches out a middle way between a classical conception of God exemplified by Aquinas and the more recent “process” or “panentheist” conception exemplified by Hartshorne. Alston argues that such a God can act so as to have real effects in the world and can enter into genuine dialogue and otherwise interact with human beings. In addition, he defends the idea that God provides a foundation for morality. The first collection of Alston's ground breaking work in the philosophy of religion, Divine Nature and Human Language will be welcomed by scholars and students of the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, theology, and religious studies.

About the Book Human Nature and the Devine Nature of God is a new dispensation of the scripture revealing new things about the Old Testament and The New Testament. A book of Rememberance It was prophesied by Malachi (3:16-18) that a book of remembrance would be written that would alow you to descern between righteousness and wickness, between one who serve God and one who does not serve him. Think you know right from wrong? think again! The promise of Christ Christ said,"These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father." (John 16:25) Christ spoke of the Father to the Jews saying, "Yet ye have not known him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a lie like unto you: But I know him, and keep his saying." (John.8:55) The time have come that all must know the Father and, this is the book that will plaimly identify the Father This promise was comfirmed through a prophesy to Jeremiah(31:34)saying.They shall teach no more every man his brother, saying know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest of them. Find out why the Ten Commandments was written on stone. Learn God's definitdion for Love, it will suprise and delight you, and much more. Christ came to do two things, and that was to fulfill the law and to fulfill all righteousness, Human nature and the devine nature of God will tell you how this was acccomplished. Christ changed the law, and gave us a new law, human nature and the divine nature of God will identify the change in the law and the new law and will identify Christ.s authority to change law and give new law. A bout the Author I am a layman not trained to conform to any specific church doctrine. The churches are divided in their consept of Christ and Chrisitanity, I believe that Christ is one and his doctrine is one. I have denied my self the influence and contamination of their doctrines in search of the true undefiled doctrine of Christ. I do not depend upon academic excellence, or human intellengence, to descern the scripture, only the grace of God. The things conatined in this book is not the product of human inventions, but by the spirit as it was revealed to me. Theology is the study of God and his doctrine, I do not study God. I do not have the intellectual copasity to study him.I depend upon him to reveal himself to me. A person may question my ability to reach God, but they can not question his ability to reach me, and I estsblish my relatdionship with him based upon this principle. I look at the world and I try to understand the reason for the condition that we face, we have the have and have nots, the oppressed and the oppressor, the compassionate and the apathetic, and why mankind is the most vicious and feared beast on earth. Every nation on earth have an army to protect mankind from himself, and yet the scripture state that man was created in the image of God, how can this be, if God was the embodiment of death nothing could live. I have listen to the local, national, and world leaders, educators, ministers and philosophers concerning these things, and their logic and reasoning all come down to complexity and confusion. I decided to seek the answere from God himself to find out what he had to say about the situation and the solution to the problem, and Human Nature and the Devine Nature of God is the answere I received, see what you think.

This document's purpose is to spell out the Church's understanding of the nature of revelation--the process whereby God communicates with human beings. It touches upon questions about Scripture, tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church. The major concern of the document is to proclaim a Catholic understanding of the Bible as the "word of God." Key elements include: Trinitarian structure, roles of apostles and bishops, and biblical reading in a historical context.

Does God suffer? Does God experience emotions? Does God change? This Spectrum Multiview volume brings together four theologians who make a case for their own view—ranging from a traditional affirmation of divine impassibility (the idea that God does not suffer) to the position that God is necessarily and intimately affected by creation—and then each contributor responds to the others' views.

Inquiring about God is the first of two volumes of Nicholas Wolterstorff's collected papers. This volume collects Wolterstorff's essays on the philosophy of religion written over the last thirty-five years. The essays, which span a range of topics including Kant's philosophy of religion, the medieval (or classical) conception of God, and the problem of evil, are unified by the conviction that some of the central claims made by the classical theistic tradition, such as the claims that God is timeless, simple, and impassible, should be rejected. Still, Wolterstorff contends, rejecting the classical conception of God does not imply that theists should accept the Kantian view according to which God cannot be known. Of interest to both philosophers and theologians, Inquiring about God should give the reader a lively sense of the creative and powerful work done in contemporary philosophical theology by one of its foremost practitioners.

Argues that pre-modern societies placed authority in the text of sacred books, and that when Europeans underwent the scientific revolution in the 17th century, the underlying assumptions and approaches did not alter, only the nature and location of the text where authority was to be sought. Also argues that the change was not generated by factors external to science such as the advent of the printing press or social changes, but by a continual negotiation by scientists themselves for meaning in which the narratives of the Book and the Word vied for authority.
