Classical theism is a philosophical and theological perspective that emphasizes the existence of a transcendent, personal God who is both the creator and sustainer of the universe. This view holds that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent, meaning He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good. Classical theism is often associated with the teachings of major religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. In classical theism, God is understood to be immutable, meaning He does not change, and impassible, meaning He is not subject to human emotions or suffering. This perspective contrasts with other views of God, such as process theology, which suggests that God evolves with the universe. Classical theism has been influential in shaping Western philosophy and religious thought throughout history.
