Theology of Divine Simpleness
Bishop baron says everything in our immediate experience is marked by a real distinction between essence and existence. Properties are merely antia rationis not mind independent realities. They are formed by the mind's abstracting from an object, everything except for the particular feature in question. But there are still positive predications true of them, including that god is not composed of separatle parts. That suffices for a biblical and philosophically intelligible doctrine of divine simplicity.
