Transcendence and Perfection: God in classical orthodoxy

07 March 2013 at 6:15 pm

How, if at all, do we imagine God? Should we even try? Vernon White, Canon Theologian at Westminster Abbey and Visiting Professor at King’s College London, presents three lectures exploring concepts of God in scripture, philosophy and drama.

What happens when personal experiences of God displayed in the scriptures are subjected to philosophical scrutiny? Philosophical theology has tried to relate these experiences to other demands of the religious and intellectual life: notions of infinity, eternity, and perfection. Must these concepts also belong to our picture of God? This second lecture explores these wider themes.
