philosophy of religion. (1) Topics relating to the problem of evil and the
free-will defence. Is it possible for God to see to it that no free agent
commits moral evil? (2) Problems concerning the traditional attributes of God.
Is the notion of omniscience a coherent one? How is God's omniscience related
to human freedom?
