Public resource. Are human beings free, or are their actions determined by larger forces over which they have no control? What exactly is "free will" and how does it play an important role in religious thinking? On our R&T-BBC collaborative resource, Going Beyond Belief, David Law takes a look at these questions in the context of Christian theology. A complementary page concentrates on the ideas of theologian Kierkegaard’s writings on predestination, providence, and governance. These pages can be used for a range of RS A level syllabi, and you can also listen here to the Beyond Belief radio feature on free will. David also teaches courses on these topics throughout our undergraduate degree programme.
