The Only Wise God: The Compatibility of Divine Foreknowledge and Human Freedom is unavailable, but you can change that!

Does God know our actions before we do them? And if so, do human beings truly have free will? William Lane Craig contends that God’s foreknowledge and human free will are compatible.
