“…This is because "before the time of his running Socrates could have brought it about that he not be running at that later time". 64 There is no such antecedent time of decision for God, whose act of creating is "a timeless action in the eternal present." 65 This gives the conditional necessity of creation a stronger sense than the suppositional necessity of Socrates's running, so that God's willing of it can sit more neatly in one act of will with what God wills with absolute necessity.…”

The traditional notion of divine simplicity is frequently misunderstood. Philosophers of religion who defend it and theologians who dismiss it agree on its Greek, rather than biblical, heritage. On the contrary, a particularly Christian account of divine simplicity, as reflected for example in Thomas, maintains a Creator‐creature distinction as understood in light of Trinity and Incarnation. Stump and Kretzmann's discussion of simplicity appears to follow Aquinas, but misses the character of this distinction, and so treats a human idea of “the simple” instead of Thomas's living source of being. The true modern follower of Thomas on simplicity is not Stump and Kretzmann, but Barth.
