Does God Command Things Because They Are Good, Or Are They Good Because He Commands Them?

In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley addresses the age-old question of how we define “good” in relation to God. Is goodness a standard above God to which he must measure up? Or does God arbitrarily declare things “good” by his will alone? Digging into this fascinating question takes us into the historic doctrine called “divine simplicity,” a teaching about God that should provoke us to wonder, awe, and worship.
