Abstract

The apparent incompatibility between divine foreknowledge and human freedom, which has been recognized as a problem since the early days of the Christian Church, was examined with unprecedented energy and thoroughness during the last third of the twentieth century. This examination formed an integral part of the application of the techniques of analytic philosophy to the principal divine attributes, but it was triggered by a pair of seminal articles by Arthur Prior and Nelson Pike.1This essay will present the foreknowledge conundrum and consider the principal responses to it that have emerged during this period.
