ST. AUGUSTINE
There are fewer philosophical issues more hotly debated than the question of God's complete control over the future and the troubling question of man's so-called "free will". As usual Augustine comprehended the truth of both issues and expressed the matter succinctly. Christians, he said, affirm both God's complete sovereignty over all things and man's freedom to choose. We affirm "... the former to believe well and the latter to live well." (City of God, Book 5)
