This volume explores the philosophical issues involved in the idea
of petitionary prayer, where this is conceived as an activity designed
to influence the action of the all-knowing, all-powerful, perfectlv
good God of traditional theism. Theists have always recognized
various logical and moral limits to divine action in the world, but
do these limits leave any space among God s reasons for petition-
ary prayer to make a difference? Petitionary Prayer: A Philosophical
Investigation develops a new account of the conditions required
for a petitionary prayer to be answered by employing the notion
of contrastive explanation. With careful attention to recent
developments in metaphysics, epistemology, and value theorv,
Scott A. Davison surveys the contemporary literature on this
question. He considers questions about human freedom and
responsibility in relation to different views of divine providence,
along with the puzzles inherent in Christian teachings concerning
petitionary prayer. Davison develops new challenges to the
coherence of the idea of answered petitionary prayer based upon
the nature of divine freedom, the limits of human knowledge, and
the nature of those good things that require a recipient s permission
before they can be given. He also proposes new defenses, building
upon careful analysis of the shortcomings of previous proposals
and clarifying the issues for future debate.
