The book explores a fundamental question in the philosophy of religion regarding God's freedom and moral worth. It challenges the notion that if God possesses perfect knowledge and goodness, He must create the best possible world, leading to the conclusion that His actions are determined rather than free. This raises implications for our gratitude towards God for creation. William Rowe argues for a significant reevaluation of contemporary perspectives on God's nature, suggesting a need to reconcile divine freedom with His moral attributes.

This book provides a comprehensive, critical study of the oldest and most famous argument for the existence of God: the Cosmological Argument. Professor Rowe examines and interprets historically significant versions of the argument from Aquinas to Samuel Clarke and explores the major objections that have been advances against it.

The collection features significant writings by Rowe on the philosophy of religion, offering a diverse selection that caters to students, scholars, and general readers alike. It includes accessible discussions on philosophical theology, addressing key topics that stimulate thought and debate in the field. This compilation serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding Rowe's contributions and the complexities of religious philosophy.
