Excerpt from Nescience Versus Prescience: A Poetical Review of "an Inquiry Into the Popular Notion of an Unoriginated, Infinite, and Eternal Prescience"; With Illustrative Notes, and an Appendix
Such knowledge is too wonderful and high All that's the most Divine, 'twas his intention, To lower down to human comprehension.
The plan was specious, if not wholly new And mighty benefits must needs accrue.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a scrutiny of the nature of divine knowledge. The author grapples with the question of whether God can foresee events that are determined by the free choices of individuals. The author questions whether this omniscient foreknowledge, or 'prescience', is compatible with the belief in an almighty and just God, as it could be argued that foreknowledge of events implies their inevitability, and therefore undermines the notion of free will and moral responsibility. Through a thoughtful examination of religious texts and philosophical arguments, this book sheds light on the intricate relationship between divine knowledge, human freedom, and the nature of reality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
