David Ray Griffin (1976) critically disagrees with this concept (Reformed theology and Calvinism, edit) of John Calvin and others, but correctly defines the idea that God’s will must be regarded as righteous, even when we as human beings cannot fully understand the rightness of his judgments, since God is the definition of righteousness.

Griffin critically disagrees with the Reformed concepts of John Calvin and others, but correctly defines the idea that God’s will must be regarded as righteous, as are his judgments, since God is the definition of righteousness.
