Swinburne Omniscience

"A person P is omniscient at a time t if and only if he knows of every true proposition about t or an earlier time that it is true and also he knows of every true proposition about a time later than t, such that what is [sic] reports is physically necessitated by some cause at t or earlier, that it is true. (Swinburne, 1977, 175)"

See http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/eternity/

After reviewing this definition from Swinburne, I believe it only describes part of what divine omniscience might be.
