Notes
Space restrictions have forced me to ignore Bishop’s claim that my ‘non-causal’ view of God cannot accommodate any final victory of God over evil. I refer the reader to Gleeson 2009 for discussion relevant to this.
The view that existential concepts are forms of understanding, and not simply causal conditions of it, is one that has been made many times by Raimond Gaita, and I first learned it from him.
