The traditional doctrine of God's universal causality holds that
God directly causes all entities distinct from himself, including
all creaturely actions. But can our actions be free in the strong,
libertarian sense if they are directly caused by God? W. Matthews
Grant argues that free creaturely acts have dual sources, God and
the free creaturely agent, and are ultimately up to both in a way
that leaves all the standard conditions for libertarian freedom
satisfied. Offering a comprehensive alternative to existing
approaches for combining theism and libertarian freedom, he
proposes new solutions for reconciling libertarian freedom with
robust accounts of God's providence, grace, and predestination. He
also addresses the problem of moral evil without the commonly
employed Free Will Defense. Written for analytic philosophers and
theologians, Grant's approach can be characterized as
"neo-scholastic" as well as "analytic," since many of the positions
defended are inspired by, consonant with, and develop resources
drawn from the scholastic tradition, especially Aquinas.
