Ep. #150 - Free Will & Divine Universal Causality w/ Dr. W. Matthews Grant

If God is causing everything, then how can we be free? Doesn't God's universal causality make us puppets and lead to occasionalism? And wouldn't He be different if He were to cause different things? So, how can He be simple and immutable as classical theists say? Dr. W. Matthews Grant joins us to discuss these issues and more as we look at topics from his book Free Will and God's Universal Causality: The Dual Sources Account.

The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.
