John Bishop and Ken Perszyk argue that it is reasonable to reject the standard conception of a personal 'omniGod'. They present an alternative view, 'euteleology': reality is inherently purposive, and the universe exists ultimately because its overall end, which is the supreme good, is made concretely real within it.
