   Author : Anders Kraal; Eberhard Herrmann; Mikael Stenmark; Simo Knuuttila; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; classical theism; divine simplicity; divine attributes; God; Augustine; Thomas Aquinas; first-order logic; formalization; argument-function analysis; quantifier analysis; bivalence; natural deduction; truth-bearer; inference; inference rule; logical validity; logical pluralism; logical monism; G. Frege; B. Russell; L. Wittgenstein; R. Carnap; J. Maritain; J. Salamucha; J. Bocheński; W.V.O. Quine.; Religion Theology; Religionsvetenskap Teologi;

   Abstract : This inquiry seeks an answer to the question whether classical theistic doctrines about the nature of God are amenable to formal analysis in terms of standard first-order logic. It is argued that due to the conceptual impact of classical theism’s doctrine of divine simplicity there is a good reason for answering this question in the negative. READ MORE

4. 2. Non-Gods and Gods: A Cosmontological Treatise

   Author : Martin Lembke; Administration; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Existence of God; Cosmological Argument; Ontological Argument; Anselm; Divine Attributes; Whatever it is better to be than not to be ; Omniscience; Omnipotence; Impeccability;

   Abstract : Incorporating the conceptual resources of the ontological argument for the existence of God into the underlying rationale of the cosmological ditto, I here present and defend a ‘cosmontological’ synthesis: an a posteriori argument for the existence of an all-perfect GOD: a being who, in virtue of being whatever it is better to be than not to be, is that than which a greater cannot be thought. Central to this synthesis is a very plausible principle called Exclusion: For any class (or property extension) C, if C is non-empty then there is an explanation for the non-emptiness of C if and only if there is at least one non-member of C which causes C to be non-empty.

5. 3. Sharers in Divine Nature : 2 Peter 1:4 in Its Hellenistic Context

   Author : James M Starr; Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Hellenistic philosophy; incorruption; virtue; ethics; participation; knowledge; koinônos; divine nature; Epictetus; Seneca; Stoicism; Plutarch; Philo; Josephus; Old Testament; Paul; 2 Peter; General Epistles; Bible; New Testament; Corpus Hellenisticum; Bibelvetenskap;

   Abstract : This book offers a theological study of an expression unique in biblical literature concerning the purpose of life: “that you might become sharers in divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4). Following an analysis of the text-immanent features in 2 Peter 1:1—11, the study delineates comparable notions of “sharers in divine nature” in selected writings that were current in the first century and contrasts these with 2 Peter.

6. 4. The consular diptychs : an iconological study

   Author : Cecilia Olovsdotter; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Roman art; Early Byzantine art; ivory; consular diptychs; consul; iconology;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to link the imagery of the fully figural consular diptychs to the context(s) which contributed towards its conception, showing how it corresponds to well-developed ideas about the nature and functions of the ordinary consulate in the last 150 years of its existence (c. 400-542).
