Divine Aseity and the Logos Doctrine

This chapter investigates the theological concept of divine aseity within Christian theism, contrasting it with contemporary Platonism's stance on uncreated abstract objects. It emphasizes the unique status of God as the ultimate reality, grounded in biblical scripture, particularly focusing on the Gospel of John and the implication of the divine logos in the creation process. The discussion further explores the intersections of Jewish monotheism, philosophical evolution from Platonism to Middle-Platonism, and their impact on early interpretations of the Christian doctrine.
