Ep. #39 - Multiple Attributes & Divine Simplicity with Dr. Carl

Dr. Brian Carl joins us to discuss divine simplicity and the multiplicity of divine attributes. If God is simple, as Classical Theists typically hold, then how can He have multiple attributes? In this episode, Dr. Carl answers several objections to divine simplicity. Lastly, he explains what he means in saying the multiplicity of divine attributes is "in some way on the side of God." The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.  John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/contact
