 It has been argued that this appeal to God’s justice is illegitimate within a theological voluntarist account, because what is just is a matter of moral requirement, and so to suppose that God’s acting justly is metaphysically prior to God’s imposing all moral requirements by way of commanding is incoherent (Hooker 2001, p. 334). But the theological voluntarist may deny that acting justly is morally required prior to God’s commanding it, any more than acting courageously, temperately, or prudently are morally required prior to God’s commanding us to act courageously, temperately, or prudently. Just as one can coherently acknowledge the excellence of temperance while wondering whether one is morally obligated to act temperately, one can coherently acknowledge the excellence of justice while wondering whether one is morally obligated to act justly. It thus seems an available strategy for the theological voluntarist who holds a restricted view of the range of moral properties explained by God’s commands/intentions to appeal to justice in accounting for God’s goodness.
