Abstract
Our primary goal in this chapter is to explore the role of human free will in theological anthropology.1 More specifically, we aim to address how human freedom relates to the progression from the status integritatis through the status corruptionis to the status gloriae.2 In exploring these three stages of theological anthropology, we will contrast libertarian and compatibilist views of what humans are and are not able to freely do at each stage.3 We will argue that either account can give an acceptable account of these stages. There may well be either philosophical or theological reasons for preferring libertarian or compatibilistaccounts;4 we do not think, however, that the desire to affirm the traditional claims of theological anthropology regarding the stages pushes one toward either of these views.
