Reviews
Free Will and Theism is a helpful tool that will allow the reader to develop a good grasp of the contemporary theistic philosophical debate on free will.--Reading Religion It's hard to convey in such summary fashion the richness of this collection. It should be essential reading for theistic philosophers interested in the intersection of theism and free will...[and] of considerable interest to non-theists who want to see what the big crossword puzzle--at least that part of the crossword puzzle that concerns free agency--looks like when philosophers with different commitments from theirs endeavor to fill in some of the squares. That interest in how things look under an alternative set of assumptions is the essence of the philosophical spirit. -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
