Divine Foreknowledge and Human Freedom: The Coherence of Theism Omniscience

The ancient problem of fatalism, more particularly theological fatalism, has resurfaced with surprising vigor in the second half of the twentieth century. William Lane Craig's wide-ranging discussion brings together a thought-provoking array of related topics such as logical fatalism, multivalent logic, backward causation, precognition, time travel, counter-factual logic, temporal necessity, New-comb's Problem, middle knowledge, and relativity theory. The present work serves both as a useful survey of the extensive literature on theological fatalism and related fields and as a stimulating assessment of the possibility of divine foreknowledge of future free acts.   Format Hardcover Number of Pages 360 Year 1991
