As I indicated in the preface to my book Philosophical Perspectives on Infinity (2006), this work on arguments about the existence of orthodoxly conceived monotheistic gods was initially intended to form part of a larger work under the title God and Infinity. However, while there are places in which I do appeal to my earlier work on infinity – and while there are also places where I try to note the ways in which considerations about the infinite have a differential impact on arguments about the existence of orthodoxly conceived monotheistic gods – I think that it is fair to say that the finished work is more in the nature of an interim summary of my views on arguments about the existence of orthodoxly conceived monotheistic gods.

There are various reasons why this work is only an interim summary. First, there are ways in which my views about the topics discussed in this book have changed over time; I see no reason why there will not be further changes in the future. Second, the nature of the subject ensures that there are many important topics that bear directly on the assessment of arguments about the existence of orthodoxly conceived monotheistic gods, but about which nothing is said in this book. While I would like to have given an encyclopedic discussion of the subject, it is doubtful that I would have found either publisher or readers if I had tried to do so.
