The ancient problem of fatalism, more particularly theological fatalism, has resurfaced with surprising vigor in the second half of the twentieth century. William Lane Craig's wide-ranging discussion brings together a thought-provoking array of related topics such as logical fatalism, multivalent logic, backward causation, precognition, time travel, counter-factual logic, temporal necessity, New-comb's Problem, middle knowledge, and relativity theory. The present work serves both as a useful survey of the extensive literature on theological fatalism and related fields and as a stimulating assessment of the possibility of divine foreknowledge of future free acts.
