ABSTRACT
The history of philosophy presents us not only with arguments for the existence of divinity but also with arguments for the attributes of divinity. What attributes are said of God presupposes that attributes can be ascribed to God, and that attributes can be predicated of God presupposes why attributes can be said of God. The philosophical investigation then of the nature and attributes of God is usually the task of making explicit what is implicit in notion of God acquired from or supposed by arguments for existence of God. One of the major issues is how attributes may be predicated of God. Although Edwards supposes that evil cannot be predicated of divinity, he submits that the distinction between natural and moral good grounds distinction between natural and moral attributes. Presumably he suggests that as natural attributes perfect human nature so power, knowledge, eternity, immensity, and immutability perfect divine nature, and as moral attributes pertain to human will and choice.
