Are we praiseworthy or blameworthy for our actions? This has been a long-standing question, not just in theology and philosophy, but in the sciences as well. Reformed theologian and analytic philosopher, Oliver Crisp, shares here how conversations around free will from the sciences have begun to bleed into his theological work. Might the ways theologians think of free will be stretched and enriched by conversing with the sciences? Are there more robust ways to understand our own agency that may have important implications for human interactions, courts of law, and beyond? More videos and resources like this at theopsych.com.
