Craig on Thomism and divine simplicity, Part I

The useful part

In an earlier article, I discussed William Lane Craig's treatment of the kalām cosmological argument in Volume IIb of his Systematic Philosophical Theology. Let's now take a look at Volume IIa, which is devoted to the divine attributes. Specifically, I'll address what he has to say about Thomism and the doctrine of divine simplicity.

How it works

• This is part of a larger discussion of the doctrine, but I'll confine what I say in this two-part article to his treatment of the Thomistic position, for two reasons.
• The first is the practical one of keeping these posts to a manageable length.
• The second is that, as a Thomist, I think the Thomistic approach to the issue is the most plausible and important.
