Prayer and Omniscience: A Complex Dialogue

This chapter explores the intricate relationship between prayer and God's omniscience, questioning the effectiveness of prayer if God already knows the outcomes of all events. The discussion highlights the distinction between logical and temporal priorities, arguing that God's knowledge does not determine future events, thereby allowing for human free will. Through various illustrations and analogies, the chapter addresses the philosophical implications of divine foreknowledge and personal responsibility, particularly in the context of biblical narratives.
