One passage bearing on an answer to this question is this:
". . . the eternal principle of good is God's eternal essence and is in no sense arbitrary or contingent.

"My ethics . . . tells me that, despite these actual dangers \ [_sc_. threats of nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare\], we are obligated to do the best we can with a situation one would not have chosen to be in, but which has been brought about by freedom, the source of both good and evil" (263).
