The analyses are important, interesting, and yet curiously divergent. Flint and Freddoso, Pike and Ross disagree about the primary object of divine power (events, states of affairs, or being), but do not address that disagreement directly. Quinn and Ross differ on what God creates, but their only contact is a passing shot from Ross at Quinn. Dore addresses an objection to his position from William Rowe, but the formulation of the objection is obscure and D.s response even more so. The papers in this volume are similar in quality to those in other volumes in this fine series (reviewed TS 41 [1980] 593 f. and 43 [1982] 370 f.). Generally, their content is more technical, so this volume will be of primary interest to those working on the special topics addressed in the essays, rather than to those generally interested in philosophical theology.
