Divine Aseity
Feb 16, 2024
Dr. William Lane Craig, a distinguished lecturer on God's self-existence and platonism at the University of Birmingham, dives deep into divine aseity. He explores how this concept asserts God's independence and critiques Platonism's uncreated entities. Craig discusses the Logos Doctrine's implications in creation and the distinctions between God's nature and Christ’s. Additionally, he examines the nature of evil as a lack of good, the philosophical interplay between Christianity and Platonism, and affirms that God's essence embodies moral goodness.
