His extensive religious writings provide a substantial body of work for contemporary philosophical theology and the philosophy of religion.
The special issue aims to showcase Leibniz's contributions to theology and philosophy of religion and to explore their contemporary relevance, building on recent scholarship by Antognazza, Backus, and Rateau.

Divine freedom and choice
