I found your presentation on Blogging Theology very beneficial, JazakAllah!
One question though:
When you shortly interrupted Paul's take [at 35:05-35:50] regarding the Greek, Hellenistic influence on (early) Christianity, how it changed/influenced the way a "maximally perfect being" is being conceived and what is or isn't possible for that "perfect being" (and I believe by extension - Paul didn't say this but he may have implied it - how effectively, this lead to an abstract entity in the mind which nothing can be ascribed to of real attributes let alone Sifat dhātiyyah/fi'liyyah, like how Paul mentioned Ibn Sina...), and when you then mentioned how we as Muslims believe in 'Perfect Being Theology', were you then negating everything he mentioned immediately before OR were you merely clarifying how PBT is NOT a distinctly Greek Hellenistic concept but it's just that we disagree about what constitutes PBT and that their "versiom" of PBT is a wrong one?
