A persistent problem for Christian theologians and philosophers of religion has been the compatibility of the doctrine of divine foreknowledge with belief in human free will. Zagzebski presents a systematic treatment of this intractable dilemma. She critically analyses the three major traditional solutions - the Boethian, the Ockhamist, and the Molinist - arguing that none of them succeeds. She then develops and defends three new solutions of her own, discovering a new dilemma of foreknowledge and time, independent of the question of free will, which alters the range of acceptable solutions to the foreknowledge/freedom dilemma. She concludes with a general discussion of the way in which a rational person ought to proceed when confronted with dilemmas which threaten important religious beliefs.
