‘God is great‚ God is good‚ now we thank him for our food.’ This simple prayer reflects twin commitments in Christian belief to God’s greatness and God’s goodness. Yet Christian theodicies have often averred to God’s greatness to the detriment of his goodness. Let us interpret God’s greatness in a manner other than power. Indeed‚ let us consider God’s greatness‚ as the medievals understood God’s goodness‚ in terms of being: goodness and being are interchangeable; 1 God is the most real
