Monistic Power of God in Traditional Theism

In Chapters 3 and 4, we saw Griffin’s interpretation of the traditional view of divine omnipotence as God having all the power (O2) and God being able to unilaterally bring about a state of affairs involving multiplicity of actual beings (Q₁). I argued that Griffin’s attributing O2 and Q₁ to traditional theism seems unfair; I also argued that criticizing the traditional theistic view of divine omnipotence in light of the process-metaphysical hypothesis is illegitimate and not very convincing. Aside from the issue of the incoherence, however, Griffin points out several other crucial difficulties stemming from traditional concept of God’s power.
