Worship and The Problem of Divine Achievement

Gwen Bradford has plausibly argued that one attains achievement only if does something finds difficult. It is also plausible must attain to be worthy of “agential” praise, praise appropriately directed someone on the basis things redound their credit. These claims pose a challenge classical theists who direct agential God, since theism arguably entails none God’s actions are difficult for God. I consider responses this and commend view according which loving character not necessitated by nature but contingent achievement. argue can still satisfy explanatory ambitions natural theology.
