The Only Wise God: The Compatibility of Divine Foreknowledge and Human Freedom
— William Lane Craig
The work of this book is a philosophically careful defense of God's complete foreknowledge of genuinely free human acts. A potent antidote to current "openness of God" theologies. It includes a defense of divine "middle knowledge" as a basis of God's knowledge of the future.
From Pastor Denis Beausejour: This book gives a very powerful outline for reconciling God's sovereignty with human freedom and responsibility. It is not the easiest to read, but for the person with this burning question, he is excellent.
