[Bonus] Defending the Doctrine of Divine Simplicity: Contemporary Thomistic Response
from The Pat Flynn Show
Pat goes on at length explaining why and how divine simplicity is affirmed, the explanatory benefits that come along with maintaining classical theism and divine simplicity generally, and then spends time working through objections related to contingent knowledge, modal collapse, multiple properties, and moral obligation. Finally, Pat argues a general safeguard can be provided around the doctrine of divine simplicity because of the apophatic-analogic process leading up to it.
