The idea that God, understood as the most perfect being, must
create the best possible world is often underacknowledged by
contemporary theologians and philosophers of religion. This book
clearly demonstrates the rationale for what Justin J. Daeley calls
Theistic Optimism and interacts with the existing literature in
order to highlight its limitations. While locating Theistic
Optimism in the thought of Gottfried Leibniz, Daeley argues that
Theistic Optimism is consistent with divine freedom, aseity,
gratitude, and our typical modal intuitions. By offering plausible
solutions to each of the criticisms levelled against Theistic
Optimism, he also provides a vigorous and original defence against
the charge that it deviates from the Christian tradition. Engaging
with both the Christian tradition and contemporary theologians and
philosophers, Why God Must Do What is Best positions the idea of
Theistic Optimism firmly within the language of contemporary
philosophy of religion.
