The Sophia Forum:
Created by a generous anonymous donor, The Sophia Forum aims to promote Christian philosophy and pay tribute to those who significantly contribute to it. Each year the Philosophy Program at Azusa Pacific University invites a renowned Christian Philosopher to formally lecture two nights on topics of their expertise as well as being a Christian Philosopher. The guest speaker also spends time with students and faculty throughout the days that they are visiting our campus.
Key Note: Dr. Dinda Zagzebski

" I define 'omnisubjectivity' as the complete and perfect grasp of the conscious state of all conscious being who have ever lived or will ever live from the point of view of that being. In this paper I argue that God is omnisubjective. Omnisubjectivity is entailed by the attributes of omniscience and omnipresence, and is implied by common practices of Christian prayer. Omnisubjectivity also helps us in understanding the Trinity and the operations of divine grace/"
