Isn’t Neo-classical theism silly? Not so fast. In this video, Dr. Ryan Mullins, Micah Edvenson, and I discuss prominent classical theist objections to Neo-classical theism (“Theistic Personalism” as some folk call it).
Here are the criticisms we cover:
1. Prisoner of Time objection (against Divine temporality)
2. Aseity entails DDS
3. Composition entails causal dependence
3a. The argument from this-such-ness (Nemes, Vallicella)
3b. Feser’s Neo-Platonic proof
3c. Thomistic essence-existence argument
4. Neo-CT entails God is a creature
4a. Anthropomorphism
5. Biblical arguments for CT
6. Simplicity is necessary to rule out polytheism (Feser)
7. Platonic argument from perfection
8. Problems for passibility
8a. Horny God objection
8b. Interminable suffering and hell
Abbreviation key:
CT: Classical Theism
Neo-CT: Neo-Classical Theism
DDS: Doctrine of Divine Simplicity
