Sommario/riassunto |
|
'Can God Be Free?' studies a central philosophical problem of religion: can it be right to regard God as free, and as praiseworthy for being perfectly good? The author questions this idea and proposes the need for some substantive revision in contemporary thinking about the nature of God. |
