<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The question of God's relationship to abstract objects touches on a number of perennial concerns related to the nature of God. God is typically thought to be an independent and self-sufficient being. Further, God is typically thought to be supremely sovereign such that all reality distinct from God is dependent on God's creative and sustaining activity. However, the view that there are abstract objects seems to be a repudiation of this traditional understanding of God. Abstract objects are typically thought to exist necessarily and it is natural to think that if something exists necessarily, it does so because it is its nature to exist. Thus, abstract objects exist independently of God. Philosophers have called this the problem of God and abstract objects. <p/>In this book, six contemporary solutions to the problem are set out and defended against objections. It will be valuable for all students or scholars who are interested in the concept and nature of God.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Paul M. Gould</b> is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Christian Apologetics at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA.</p>
