Free Will and the Christian Faith

By (author) W.S. Anglin





| book description |

Libertarians such as J.R.Lucas have abandoned traditional Christian doctrines because they cannot reconcile them with the freedom of the will. Traditional Christian thinkers such as the later Augustine have repudiated libertarianism because they cannot reconcile it with the dogmas of the Faith. In Free Will And The Christian Faith , W.S.Anglin demonstrates that free will and traditional Christianity are indeed compatible. He examines, and solves, puzzles about the relationships between free will and omnipotence, omniscience and God's goodness. He uses the idea of free will to answer the question of why God allows evil, and presents arguments which link free will to eternal life and to the nature of revelation. Topics discussed in the course of the argument include the meaning of life, backwards causation, the Principle of Double Effect, the soul and Lesbegue measure, and strategies for discerning the voice of God.
