 There is an ongoing debate whether (1) or (2) is the better formulation of theological voluntarism about obligation. There are initially plausible points on both sides of the issue. In favor of (1), one might appeal to the centrality of the image of God as commander in the Abrahamic faiths. In favor of (2), one might appeal to the centrality to theistic belief and practice of the idea that doing God’s will is the standard for the moral life.
