This article argues that philosophy of religion should focus on the notion of the unconditioned, rather than the God of ‘theism’. Such a shift of focus would have a number of advantages. It would loosen the grip of the default theistic framework often used in the field. In turn, this would encourage fresh reflection upon the nature of the unconditioned and its relationship to conditioned entities.

It argues that light can be cast on the notion of the unconditioned by contemporary analytic debates about essence and grounding, and vice versa
