Abstract
Jeremy Gwiazda has criticized my claim that God, understood as anomnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly free person is a person ‘of the simplestpossible kind’ on the grounds that omnipotence etc. as spelled out by me areomnipotence etc. of restricted kinds, and so less simple forms of these propertiesthan maximal forms would be. However the account which I gave of theseproperties in The Christian God (although not in The Coherence of Theism) showsthat, when they are defined in certain ways, they all follow from one property of‘pure, limitless, intentional power’. I argue here that a person who has theseproperties so defined is a person ‘of the simplest possible kind’
