The Decline of Classical Theism

The discussion centers on the gradual abandonment of classical theism, which is the theological view emphasizing God's attributes defined through historical Western philosophical thought. This shift signifies a departure from long-established concepts about God’s nature, leading to concerns over an unrecognized erosion of fundamental Christian beliefs. As some contemporary theologians and scholars begin to adopt a modified or diluted view of God, essential attributes like omniscience and omnipresence face scrutiny and skepticism. The implications of this trend raise significant questions about the nature of God and the reliability of theological assertions that have historically defined Christianity.
