Destiny and Deliberation

Jonathan Kvanvig presents a compelling new work in philosophical theology on the universe, creation, and the afterlife. Organised thematically by the endpoints of time, the volume begins by addressing eschatological matters-the doctrines of heaven and hell-and ends with an account of divine deliberation and creation. Kvanvig develops a coherent theistic outlook which reconciles a traditional, high conception of deity, with full providential control over all aspectsof creation, with a conception of human beings as free and morally responsible. The resulting position and defense is labeled &quote;Philosophical Arminianism,&quote; and deserves attention in a broad range of religious traditions.
