ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book analogizes a distinction between personhood as a functional and, evidently, an exceptionless characteristic of all possibility. It talks about whether God can grow bored with the universe? The book argues that to make it a necessity that God does not think dispenses not only with negative prehension in God, but also God's personality or "soul". The metaphysical problem is that insofar as all finite beings work with the available data in their self-creating, and insofar as they are self-creating, then God by definition did not "create" them wholly. The book construes God's immanence in the universe in numerous ways apart from the incarnation of God in Christ, of course, and indeed, a philosopher has a duty to do so.
