Description:If God is in control, are people really free?
This question has
bothered Christians for centuries. And answers have covered a wide
spectrum. Today Christians still disagree.
Those who emphasize
human freedom view it as a reflection of God's self-limited power.
Others look at human freedom in the order of God's overall control.
David
and Randall Basinger have put this age-old question to four scholars
trained in theology and philosophy. John Feinberg of Trinity
Evangelical Divinity School and Norman Geisler of Dallas Theological
Seminary focus on God's specific sovereignty. Bruce Reichenbach of
Augsburg College and Clark Pinnock of McMaster Divinity College insist
that God must limit his control to ensure our freedom. Each writer
argues for his perspective and applies his theory to two practical case
studies. Then the other writers respond to each of the major essays,
exposing what they see as fallacies and hidden assumptions.
A lively and provocative volume.
