A Gappy Alternative to Perfect Being Theism

ABSTRACT Recent philosophical work on perfect being theism has witnessed the emergence of a gappy view of God, according to which God's divine essence gives rise to truth‐value gaps. In this paper, we discuss what this gappy view entails and demonstrate how it constitutes an alternative unified solution to the omniproblems associated with traditional monotheism.
