divine goodness
Holy moral perfection
Divine goodness is the quality of moral perfection attributed to God or gods—the idea that a supreme being is not merely powerful but genuinely good, benevolent, and caring toward creation.
The concept is central to theological debates about evil: if God possesses divine goodness, why does suffering exist?
The problem of evil challenges belief in divine goodness.
