God, Morality, and the Euthyphro Dilemma
This chapter critiques Beckwith's argument on God's existence and its connection to moral law, challenging the idea that moral truths depend solely on divine authority.

Through various philosophical discussions, the chapter examines the complexities of divine command theory and the implications of moral freedom in the context of a morally perfect God.
