Summary

Truthmaking maximalists, namely those who hold that every truth has (at least) a truthmaker, are usually accused of being committed to peculiar entities like negative facts and general facts. In this paper, I will propose a theistic solution to the problem of negative/general truths. According to this proposal, truthmakers for negative truths and general truths are positive and singular facts about God. No negative facts or general facts need be posited.
