Présentation de l'éditeur :
How exactly could God achieve infallible foreknowledge of every future event, including the free actions of human persons? How could God exercise careful providence over these same events? Byerly offers a novel response to these important questions by contending that God exercises providence and achieves foreknowledge by ordering the times.
The first part of the book defends the importance of the above questions. After characterizing the contemporary freedom-foreknowledge debate, Byerly argues that this debate has focused too narrowly on a certain argument for theological fatalism. This argument attempts to show that the existence of infallible divine foreknowledge poses a unique threat to the existence of creaturely libertarian freedom. The author argues, however, that bare existence of infallible divine foreknowledge cannot threaten freedom in this way; at most, the mechanics whereby this foreknowledge is achieved might so threaten human freedom.
In the second part of the book, Byerly develops a model for understanding the mechanics whereby infallible foreknowledge is achieved which would not threaten creaturely libertarian freedom. According to the model, God infallibly foreknows every future event because God has placed the times which constitute the history of the world in primitive earlier-than relations to one another. After defending the consistency of this model of the mechanics of divine foreknowledge with creaturely libertarian freedom, the author applies the model to divine providence more generally. A novel defense of concurrentism is the result.

T. Ryan Byerly offers a refreshingly original account of how divine foreknowledge and providence might be achieved. This is an important contribution to philosophical theology and metaphysics which should be studied and discussed widely in coming years. --Yujin Nagasawa, Professor of Philosophy, University of Birmingham, UK
