Some good stuff in Faith & Philosophy

Returning from my travels, it seems I’ve recently received two issues of Faith and Philosophy, dated Oct 2006 and Jan 2007. There are several bits that may be of interest to readers of this blog.

1. Brian Leftow, “Divine Simplicity” – no Leftow never tackles easy problems. It’ll be interesting to see how he tries to defend that now widely rejected doctrine.
2. Alan R. Rhoda, Greg Boyd, and Thomas Belt, “Open Theism, Omniscience, and the Nature of the Future” – I read this as a draft. Good paper, well informed and argued, though I disagree with its main thrust. Essential reading for those interested in open theism. And in the Jan 2007 issue:
3. Katherin Rogers, “Anselmian Eternalism: The Presence of a Timeless God” – she here defends the (dubiously coherent) combination of libertarian freedom and four-dimensionalism about time.
4. Yours truly, “Three Roads to Open Theism” – I worked really hard on this paper, and am glad it’s finally out. I hope it proves helpful. I hereby apologize for its technicality.
5. Tom Senor, “The Compositional Account of the Incarnation” – I’m really looking forward to this one. Anything I’ve seen before from him has been insightful and worthwhile. He’s commenting on work by Leftow and Stump. I’ll post on this whenever we really get around to Incarnation issues here.

Kudos to Bill Hasker for what look like a couple of good issues.
