Omniscience, Foreknowledge, and the Problem of Divine Freedom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948048118)

The problem of God's foreknowledge of the future and its compatibility with human freedom and responsibility is one of the greatest issues in philosophy of religion. There is, however, another side to this issue. If God foreknows the future, then he also foreknows his own future actions. How then is God a free and responsible agent? After extrapolating the problem, Floyd applies to the divine problem the four major responses to the human problem: the Open Solution, the Molinist Solution, the Ockhamist Solution, and the Atemporal Solution. He conclude that a version of the Atemporal Solution resolves the problem of foreknowledge and divine freedom.
