It adopts a broadly classical understanding of God in which God and the world are distinct and the key attributes of God are retained. It thus contributes to discussions of cosmopsychism in philosophy of religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn arguing for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox account of Christian theism, the book serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it develops an account of cosmopsychism and theism in which God and the cosmic mind are distinct, and the cosmic mind is not divine. Secondly, in showing that cosmopsychism is compatible with a classical understanding of God, it demonstrates that cosmopsychism need not be construed as a rival to classical theism.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn pursuit of these aims this book brings cosmopsychism into dialogue with several key elements of the Christian doctrine of God including the understanding of four of the divine attributes: omnibenevolence, omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. The analysis seeks to dispel concerns that the cosmic mind would be a rival to God and seeks to show the unique theological merits that a cosmopsychist understanding of classical theism can yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCosmopsychism and the Christian Doctrine of God is essential reading for scholars in philosophy of religion, especially those focussing on the understanding of God. It is also ideal for Christian analytic theologians and for researchers in the philosophy of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvey Cawdron is an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Divinity at the University of St Andrews.
