What Is Classical Theism | Philosophy In 60 Seconds-ish

Here's a brief video outlining the basic commitments of classical theism.

Classical theism says that God is absolutely the first cause of all causable things, purely actual (has intrinsic passive potency, and is thereby immutable), is non-composite (absolutely ontologically simple), and has no nature distinct from his act of existence (God’s essence just is his existence). From a traditional metaphysical perspective, it turns out these commitments entail further consequences, such as that God is “uniquely unique” (one and only one), eternal (not just everlasting, but always existing outside of time), necessarily existing (cannot not exist), omnipotent (capable of bringing about all logically possible realities), omniscient (understands all essences, possibilities, contingent truths, and necessary truths), and perfectly good (suffers from no privations).
