Cantorian Infinity and Philosophical Concepts of God

It is often alleged that Cantor’s views about how the set theoretic universe as a whole should be considered are fundamentally unclear.

Description
Summary:It is often alleged that Cantor’s views about how the set theoretic universe as a whole should be considered are fundamentally unclear. In this article we argue that Cantor’s views on this subject, at least up until around 1896, are relatively clear, coherent, and interesting.

However, the theological implications in question, at least as articulated here, would not have satisfied Cantor himself.
