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 aspects of creation with a conception of human beings as free and morally responsible. The resulting position and defense is labeled Philosophical Arminianism and deserves attention in a broad range of religious traditions.
