SURPASSING CLASSICAL THEISM IN A SOCIETY BASED ON KNOWLEDGE
SURPASSING CLASSICAL THEISM IN A SOCIETY BASED ON KNOWLEDGE

Summary/Abstract: The classical theism describes God as being omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and having infinite love. There are many mistakes implied in classical theism which weakened the concept of God and the possibility of proving His existence trough rational arguments. Neoclassical theism propose to give a better image of God accommodating certain aspects of theistic believes such as divine perfection, freedom and creativity and to surpass the difficulties classical theism. Instead of the classical concept of God, neoclassical theism considers the possibility of developing and changing in God. Process philosophy, in general, and neoclassical theism, in particular propose a God that is a subject of change (that means changing for the better, but never for the worse) because He is related to the world and influenced by the world. God’s knowledge about the world has to change along with the world which is changing in every moment.
