ABSTRACT
Many contemporary philosophers have found a temporal conception of God's being, although historically the minority view, much more plausible than its competitor. As was the case with the atemporalist conceptions, differences in detail exist among various philosophers, but the common element is the view that God does experience a succession of states in his being and, subsequent to the creation of a (temporal) world external to himself, God stands in real temporal (Atheoretic) relations to that world. Thus God properly may be spoken of as temporal.
