ABSTRACT
The seventeenth-century philosopher Blaise Pascal is well known for contrasting the God of the philosophers and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the God of biblical revelation. Natural theology cannot prove that God is a Trinity of persons, and then the concept of God in natural theology will differ in at least one important respect from the traditional biblical concept of God. The Reformed tradition recognizes something very similar to robust theism as a description of the true God or a description that picks out the being named God in Scripture. Robust theistic descriptivism maintains that unless natural theology can prove the existence of a being under a robust theistic description, it fails to prove the existence of God. Reformed theologians have typically agreed that Yahweh' is the most fitting name for the true God because of the attributes it signifies: eternity, self-existence, independence, the causal source of all things, and immutability.
