ABSTRACT
For theists, Divine Goodness is both a fundamental confession and a problematic concept. I identify two af rmations that provide criteria for a satisfactory concept of divine goodness, and brie y discuss divine transcendence and its apparent implications for conceiving divine goodness. Then I present a Thomistic account of divine goodness and compare it to the most familiar account among contemporary analytic philosophers of religion, a neo-Anselmian position. I also discuss critically some of the problems for each perspective.
