"How do mathematics, philosophy, and theology intersect? In Ideas at the Intersection
of Mathematics, Philosophy, and Theology, Carlos Bovell proposes a wide range of possibilities.
In a series of eleven thought-provoking essays, the author explores such topics as
the place of mathematics in the work of Husserl and Heidegger, the importance of infinity
for the Christian conception of God, and the impact of Gödel's Theorem on the Westminster
Confession of Faith. This book will appeal to readers with backgrounds in mathematics,
philosophy, and theology and can be used in core, interdisciplinary modules that contain
a math component"--P. [4] of cover
