God and Human Freedom

List of contents

Introduction; 1. Divine foreknowledge and human freedom; 2. Divine providence and human freedom.

Summary

Considers the relationship between the traditional view of God as all-powerful, all-knowing and wholly good on the one hand, and the idea of human free will on the other. Focuses on the potential threats to human free will arising from two divine attributes: God's exhaustive foreknowledge and God's providential control of creation.
