Timelessness and foreknowledge

Abstract

“Boethians” reconcile human libertarian freedom and divine knowledge of actions which to us are future by asserting that God is timeless. Plantinga and others have recently argued that this solution fails, because even if God is timeless, propositions reporting what He timelessly knows are true in our past. This paper first rejects a response to Plantinga by William Hasker, then develops another response, one based on distinguishing two sorts of tenselessness.
