Jack's purpose in the paper below, which he wrote in 2013, was to analyze how Christians should 

prepare for and live in the future as American culture becomes more and more anti-biblical. 

His analysis and ideas are certainly even more relevant today in 2024. 

Earle Craig's explanatory outline of Jack's paper is also available below.

One of the theological conclusions that has come to be foundational to the interpretive work that I do in the Bible is the doctrine of divine determinism. I first reached this conclusion that the Bible assumes the doctrine of divine determinism around the time that I wrote my book The Most Real Being: A Biblical and Philosophical Defense of Divine Determinism. One of the things that my book, The Most Real Being, did not include was a thorough examination of how divine determinism fares against the so-called argument from evil. In more recent years, I have attempted to address that short-coming in my book by writing a paper entitled Biblical Divine Determinism and the Problem of Evil. In that paper, I attempt to give an adequately thorough defense of divine determinism in the face of the amount and nature of evil that exists in the world. After a few early drafts that have circulated, I have finally decided to call my most recent draft a final draft (albeit it is an initial version that I reserve the right to alter in subsequent versions). While the paper, like my book, will not be easy for every reader to follow, it tackles a very important issue that must be understood and settled by anyone who wants to understand the biblical message and its worldview.
