“Among the moral phenomena in need of rich explanation is moral freedom, without which it would seem we cannot rightly be held deeply responsible for our actions—either accolades for doing well or blameworthiness for shirking our duties. Speaking as an advocate of the moral argument(s) for God, I applaud my friend Tim Stratton’s clear-headed and rigorous defense of the sort of robust libertarian freedom without which morality and many of its salient categories lose much of their distinctive import, prescriptive clout, and binding authority. Resonances between Stratton’s principled and clearly explicated views and my own considered convictions are legion, and I recommend with enthusiasm his work—not least his operative theology rife with the implications of God’s essential and perfect goodness, unspeakable love for everyone, and genuine gracious offer of salvation to all. ”
