Notes
The forty-fourth Aquinas Lecture, delivered at Marquette in 1980, on whether divine simplicity can be held together with the claim that God has properties -- Plantinga concludes it cannot. Barrett's None Greater, also in this intake, defends the doctrine Plantinga is pressing. The oldest book in this batch and the only Marquette imprint in the collection.
