Abrahamic Religions, Free Will and Determinism

Description

Common to Christianity, Judaism and Islam is the concept of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and benevolent God. Surely, then, this God knows everything you have done and everything you will do in your life. This raises a profound philosophical problem: is there free will within an Abrahamic context if God knows our future? Why doesn’t God intervene if He knows one will never find religion?


Join Katie Peachey, a second year Philosophy and Theology student from St Peter’s College, and Dr Tim Mawson, Edgar Jones Fellow and tutor in Philosophy at St Peter’s, as they discuss these pressing issues.
