This is a remarkable, generational work that will become the resource in philosophical theology.\"—J.P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University \"An enormous undertaking.

Furthermore, his established reputation. . . guarantees that the work will attract wide interest and will have a ready readership.\"—William Hasker, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Huntington University A transformative journey through Christian doctrine, Volume IIa. On God: Attributes of God William Lane Craig’s Systematic Philosophical Theology is a multi-volume explication of Christian doctrine in the classic Protestant tradition of the loci communes as seen through the lens of contemporary analytic philosophy. Uniquely blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, these volumes aim to provide readers with a biblical and philosophically coherent articulation of a wide range of Christian doctrines.    Volume II treats the locus On God in two parts. The first part, Volume IIa. Attributes of God, explores the coherence of theism. Conceiving of God as an infinite and personal being of maximal greatness, Craig carefully defines and explicates the divine attributes of incorporeality, necessity, aseity, simplicity, eternality, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and goodness.    In the second part, Volume IIb. Excursus on Natural theology, The Trinity, Craig examines six arguments for God\u0026amp;'s existence, including the argument from contingency, the kalâm cosmological argument, the argument from the applicability of mathematics, the argument from cosmic fine-tuning, the moral argument, and the ontological argument, along with the problem of evil. Following the excursus, he transitions to an articulation and defence of Christian theism, formulating a biblical doctrine of the Trinity and offering a model of God as a tripersonal soul.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298052059509,"sku":"9781394278770","price":52.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781394278770_84dddec1-bbcf-4603-ab6d-2367d7a3bd6b.jpg?v=1786018338"},{"product_id":"9781683595274","title":"How Do We Know God Exists?","description":"Five arguments to defend your faith.

Uniquely blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, these volumes aim to provide readers with a biblical and philosophically coherent articulation of a wide range of Christian doctrines. In Volume III, Craig continues his ambitious project of constructing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary theological system by exploring the doctrines of creation and humanity. Building on the metaphysical groundwork laid in the preceding volume concerning the existence and nature of God, Volume III investigates the implications of divine reality for everything that exists apart from God—particularly creation and human nature. Here, theology is not approached in isolation but in dialogue with contemporary philosophical reflection and cutting-edge scientific research, resulting in a work that speaks both to traditional theological concerns and modern intellectual contexts. Volume III is distinctive in its integration of theological loci—De creation and De homine—with insights from disciplines often underrepresented in systematic theology, including organic chemistry, evolutionary biology, neurology, and paleoanthropology. The treatment of topics such as divine providence, human origins, and the Imago Dei is shaped not only by philosophical rigor and biblical exegesis but also by a robust Molinist framework.

Uniquely blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, these volumes aim to provide readers with a biblical and philosophically coherent articulation of a wide range of Christian doctrines.  With Vol. IV:On Christ, On Salvation we come to the very heart of Christian theology: Christology and soteriology. Craig, ranked among the most influential living philosophers and theologians, presents an original neo-Apollinarian model of the incarnation and a multi-faceted theory of the atonement featuring penal substitution at the center. This volume also includes an excursus on the historicity of Christ’s resurrection that explains the two steps involved in defending Jesus’ physical, bodily resurrection as the best explanation of the facts of Jesus’ fate. This volume integrates insights from Scripture and secular disciplines to provide a synoptic worldview connecting religious and scientific knowledge. Craig presents an ecumenically sensitive doctrine of justification and sanctification while engaging deep philosophical questions surrounding Christian doctrine. Finally, he tackles the most difficult question of the particularity of salvation through Christ, defending a Molinist solution to the problem of the unevangelized.  Readers will also discover: An original Christological model that addresses longstanding philosophical challenges while remaining faithful to orthodox Christian theological commitments and biblical foundationsCareful contextualized analysis of historical evidence for the Resurrection integrating biblical scholarship with philosophical methodology and historical analysisDistinctive formulations of Christian doctrines including divine temporality and Molinist perspectives on providence offering fresh approaches to traditional conceptsAn ecumenically sensitive treatment of justification and sanctification bridging Protestant and Catholic perspectives through careful philosophical and theological analysis Essential for Christian philosophers, systematic theologians, and advanced students in philosophy of religion, Systematic Philosophical Theology, Volume 4: On Christ, On Salvation provides the philosophical depth and analytical precision demanded by specialists.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368748757365,"sku":"9781394393855","price":52.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781394393855.jpg?v=1786034185"},{"product_id":"systematic-philosophical-theology-volume-i-prolegomena-on-scripture-on-faith","title":"Systematic Philosophical Theology: Volume I Prolegomena, On Scripture, On Faith","description":"\"[...] the culmination of an impressive career in philosophy and theology. ...

Uniquely blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, these volumes aim to provide readers with a biblical and philosophically coherent articulation of a wide range of Christian doctrines.    In the first volume of the series, Prolegomena, On Scripture, On Faith, Craig begins by introducing his conception of systematic philosophical theology, describing how it relates to biblical theology, dogmatics, fundamental theology, apologetics, and especially philosophy of religion. The chapters that follow defend the divine authority of Scripture, address the nature of faith, and discuss the rational justification for Christian faith. Throughout the text, Craig tackles cutting edge philosophical questions that arise naturally from Christian doctrine, such as the compatibility of biblical inspiration and human freedom and whether faith implies belief.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483533746549,"sku":"9781394278732","price":52.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781394278732.jpg?v=1786178709"},{"product_id":"reasonable-faith-christian-truth-and-apologetics-3rd-edition","title":"Reasonable Faith – Christian Truth and Apologetics (3rd Edition)","description":"Perfect as a textbook yet excellent for lay readers, this updated edition builds a positive case for Christianity by applying the latest thought to core theological themes.    J. Gresham Machen once said, \"False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the gospel\"-which makes apologetics that much more important. Wanting to engage not just academics and pastors but Christian laypeople and seekers, William Lane Craig has revised and updated key sections in this third edition of his classic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics, philosophy, probability calculus, the arguments for the existence of God, and Reformed epistemology.    His approach-that of positive apologetics-gives careful attention to crucial questions and concerns, including: the relationship of faith and reason, the existence of God, the problems of historical knowledge and miracles, the personal claims of Christ, and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. He shows that there is good reason to think Christianity is true. As Craig says, \"If you have a sound and persuasive case for Christianity, you don't have to become an expert in comparative religions and Christian cults. A positive justification of the Christian faith automatically overwhelms all competing world views lacking an equally strong case.\"","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484178588021,"sku":"9781433501159","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781433501159.jpg?v=1786266219"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-william-lane-craig.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
