Divine Poiesis and Abstract Entities
View through CrossRef
According to Anselm, God is understood as a being than which nothing greater can be conceived. God is the greatest possible being. In this tradition, which has come to be spoken of as Anselmian theology or perfect being theology, God is conceived or described as that spiritual or personal being who manifests the greatest possible array of unique and compossible great making attributes and characteristics that distinguishes God from all other beings and assures God's status as the only being who is worthy of unconditional worship. This notion of God as the absolutely perfect being is one that is shared by classical and neoclassical theists alike.
