On Calvinism and the Wrath of God

This article deals with one particular argument that some Calvinists use as a rational justification for their position with regard to the issue of election and reprobation. I intend to show that the argument is flawed on several points. While this does not demonstrate that Calvinism is false, it does undermine one argument that is sometimes advanced in favor of Calvinism.

Perfect Being Theology and the Value of Freedom -- A Solution to an Apparent Problem

This article discusses an apparent problem that arises from the conjunction of the Anselmian definition of God as the greatest conceivable being, and the view concerning the value of freedom that is implied by the free will defense against the problem of evil. Quentin Smith has pointed out this problem in his writings, and thus I use some of his ideas as the starting point from which I begin to analyze the problem. It seems to me that clear definitions of the key concepts involved in the problem will provide the ingredients needed for a a solution. While the problem is intriguing, it ultimately fails to point out a problem in a fully developed theistic view of reality.
