Sinopsis
Eternal God offers a powerful defence of the view that God exists in timeless eternity. This is the classical Christian view of God, but it is claimed by many theologians and philosophers of religion to be incoherent. Paul Helm rebuts the charge of incoherence, arguing that divine timelessness is grounded in the idea of God as creator, and that this alone makes possible a proper account of divine omniscience. He develops some of the consequences of divine timelessness, particularly as it affects both divine and human freedom, and considers some of the alleged problems about referring to God. The book thus constitutes a unified treatment of the main concepts of philosophical theology.

Críticas
Helm develops his ideas in an exceptionally lucid manner and, more importantly for most prospective readers, without the arcane language of symbolic logic - he writes in English. Although the standard of argumentation is quite sophisticated, he has managed to present his case with consumate clarity and readability. There is a signal absence of technical philosophical jargon. (Colin Wright, Christianity and Society, Vol.XI, No.1, Jan 01.)
A welcome and stimulating treatment of the problem of God's timelessness ... This is a very clear and accessible book; it would make a good text for a graduate seminar and will certainly be required reading for anyone working in this field.' Review of Metaphysics
`Swimming against the tide of contemporary philosophical orthodoxy, Helm has produced an indomitable defence of the concept of a timeless God ... undoubtedly an intellectual tour de force which will drive readers into a reappraisal of a philosophically unfashionable theology ... Helm is a lucid communicator, presenting essentially difficult ideas with remarkable clarity.' Themelios
'It is ... particularly opportune and appropriate to have a resolute defence of the doctrine of God's atemporal eternity from a philosophical theologian and logician of great skill and acumen.' Journal of Theological Studies
