{"product_id":"eternal-god-paul-helm-9780199590391","title":"Eternal God: A Study of God Without Time","description":"Paul Helm presents a new, expanded edition of his much praised 1988 book \u003cem\u003eEternal God\u003c\/em\u003e, which defends the view that God exists in timeless eternity. This is the classical Christian view of God, but it is claimed by many theologians and philosophers of religion to be incoherent. Paul Helm rebuts the charge of incoherence, arguing that divine timelessness is grounded in the idea of God as creator, and that this alone makes possible a proper account of divine omniscience. He develops some of the consequences of divine timelessness, particularly as it affects both divine and human freedom, and considers some of the alleged problems about referring to God. The book thus constitutes a unified treatment of the main concepts of philosophical theology. Helm's revised edition includes four new chapters that develop and extend his account of God and time, taking account of significant work in the area that has appeared since the publication of the first edition, by such prominent figures as William Lane Craig, Brian Leftow, and Richard Swinburne. This new discussion takes the reader into further areas, notably timelessness and creation and the nature of divine causality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Helm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199590397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199590391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 1.00d","brand":"Paul Helm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054723068159,"sku":"9780199590391","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa779e67-9852-4b6b-bedc-ebf54b0dd0b4.jpg?v=1685031614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eternal-god-paul-helm-9780199590391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
