–&#160;Is the existence of God a matter of faith or knowledge? –&#160;Does God sometimes act miraculously or are there physical causes for everything? –&#160;Is morality absolute or relative? –&#160;Are humans truly free or does God&apos;s sovereignty determine everything? –&#160;When bad things happen, is God the cause or are they the fault of humans? <br/> Too frequently Christians answer these questions with a Yes to one side and a No to the other side. Thomas Aquinas and Karl Barth answer Yes to both. Following their model, Machuga defends a «third way» which transcends the Enlightenment dichotomies of fideism vs. rationalism, supernaturalism vs. naturalism, relativism vs. absolutism, free will vs. predestination, and God&apos;s justice vs. his mercy. Machuga begins by showing how these false dichotomies grew out of the Enlightenment assumptions of mechanism, universal quantification, and mono-causation. He then corrects these demonstrably dubious assumptions by articulating a theory of dual-causation. The result is a thoroughly biblical understanding of God, miracles, and free will that can withstand the contemporary criticisms of both science and philosophy.
