| Title | A theology of the infinite | |
| Creator | Williams, David T. | |
| Description | The idea of the infinity of God has recently come under pressure due to the modern world-view, and due to the difficulty of proving the doctrine. However, the idea of the infinite, as qualitatively different from the merely very large, has properties which may be applied to some traditional difficulties in Christian theology, such as the ideas of the Trinity and the Incarnation, particularly in regard to the limitation and subordination of the Son. Predication of infinity to God may then make the doctrine of God more comprehensible and rational At the same time, however, this has implications fo r the nature of God, particularly in his relation to the material and to time. Not to be overlooked is the value of the idea from a pastoral perspective. | |
