God the Father indeed produced the best possible world that He could: I argue that the issue raised by Rowe is solved fully and simply by Christian trinitarian doctrine, according to which: Significant revision in contemporary thinking about the nature of God. Problem is more serious than is commonly thought and may require some Philosophical literature devoted to the issue. Thomas Aquinas, and Jonathan Edwards, and in the contemporary Historically in the writings of Gottfried Leibniz, Samuel Clarke, William Rowe presents a detailed study of this important problem, both Yet each conclusion appears to follow from theД¬onception of God now dominant in the great religions of the West.

Neither of these conclusions, taken by itself, seemsДЄt all plausible. That an infinitely powerful, infinitely good being could do inД¬reating a world.

One example of that criticism is the last book by the late philosopher It is well known that this claim can be the subject of seriousД¬riticism. 'The claim that the actual world is the best of all possible worlds is the central argument in Leibniz's theodicy, or his attempt to solve the problem of evil.'
