Jonathan Kvanvig presents and defends a new theistic outlook¿'Philosophical Arminianism'¿which reconciles a traditional, high conception of deity with a conception of human beings as free and morally responsible. He offers a bold new account of eschatological matters (the doctrines of heaven and hell), and divine deliberation and creation.
