Theological Perspectives on Free Will
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-27442-3 (ISBN)
Free will is a perennial theological and philosophical topic. As a central dogmatic locus, it is implicated in discussions around core Christian doctrines such as grace, salvation, sin, providence, evil, and predestination. This book offers a state-of-the-art look at recent debates about free will in analytic and philosophical theology. The chapters revolve around three central themes: the debate between theological compatibilists and libertarians, the communal nature of Christian freedom, and the role of free will in Christology. With contributions by leading scholars, the volume provides a valuable overview of current arguments as well as novel openings and ideas for further discussion.
Aku Visala is Research Fellow in the Faculty of Theology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Olli-Pekka Vainio is University Lecturer of Systematic Theology at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
