This two-volume collection brings together Michael C. Rea's most substantial work in analytic theology. The first volume considers the nature of God and our ability to talk and discover truths about God, whereas Volume II focuses on theological questions about humanity and the human condition. The chapters in the first part of Volume I explore issues pertaining to discourse about God and the authority of scripture. Part two focuses on divine attributes, while part three discusses doctrine of the trinity and related issues. Part one of Volume II considers the doctrines of the incarnation, original sin, and atonement. Part two examines the problem of evil, the problem of divine hiddenness, and a theological problem that arises in connection with the idea God not only tolerates but validates a response of angry protest in the face of these problems.
This volume investigates the conceptual foundations of analytic theology, specifically addressing how language, scripture, and logic intersect with the nature of the divine. Michael C. Rea, a prominent philosopher of religion, utilizes the tools of analytic philosophy to clarify theological doctrines. The work presents a rigorous framework for examining divine attributes and the coherence of traditional Christian theological claims.
