Eternity and Freedom: Critical Analysis of Divine Timelessness as a Solution to the Foreknowledge/ Free Will Debate

By Michael Robinson

Robinson argues for a model of divine time that allows God to have knowledge of the future without jeopardizing free will. Unlike other books on the subject, Eternity and Freedom insists that a timeless God's knowledge can be affected by creaturely events, as this is a prerequisite for genuine human freedom and divine person interaction with creatures.
