Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- 1. Whether Everything is True What God Knows -- 2. Whether God Necessarily Knows Whatever He Knows -- 3. Whether God Knows Something at Some Time -- 4. Whether God Knows All Past and Present Events -- 5. Whether God's Knowledge Exceeds His Power -- 6. Whether God Causes Everything What He Knows -- 7. Whether God Knows Singular Truths? -- 8. Whether God's Knowledge of Singular, Contingent Truths Implies the Mutability of God -- 9. Whether God Knows What Is Not. -- 10. Whether Knowledge or Truth Can Change the Status of a State of Affairs -- 11. Whether God Knows Future States of Affairs -- 12. Whether God Knows Everything That is True -- 13. A Theory of Omniscience -- LITERATURE -- Subject Index -- Name Index -- Backmatter
Summary: The aim of the book is to clarify the concept of omniscience. This is done first by discussing basic questions on omniscience (chs.1-12) and secondly by offering a theory of omniscience as an axiomatic system in which also a definition of omniscience is given (ch.13). The twelve chapters deal with questions like whether everything is true what God knows, whether God´s knowledge is bound to time, whether it concerns singular truths or only laws, whether it extends also to contingent future events.etc. The book is neither a book about the existence of God nor about proofs for his existence. It is a book about the possibility of a consistent concept of omniscience which can be attributed to God. And it invalidates opposite claims and shows that they are based on wrong or very doubtful premises. The pros and cons at the beginning of each chapter represent different positions and objections which are clarified and discussed in the answer to the objections.
