  1. I have explicated this claim in some detail and examined a number of its facets in “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Anselm,”Earth and Philosophy 1 (1984), pp. 177–187, reprinted in an expanded version in Thomas V. Morris,Anselmian Explorations (Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 1986). The idea is also developed in different ways in “Perfect Being Theology,”Nous 21 (1987).

  2. The lack of such an entailment is argued in “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Anselm”.

  3. On this, see “Perfect Being Theology.”Nous 21 (1987).

  4. In modal categories I have explicated elsewhere, it has its value with the modality of strong immutability, the limit of stability. See “Properties, Modalities and God,”The Philosophical Review 93 (1984), pp. 35–55.
