ABSTRACT According to Andrea Vestrucci, an oppositional framework governs the debate between free will and determinism, but Martin Luther upends this framework by a view of God that brings free will and determinism together. I argue that this debate is governed by an impersonal dialectic of fate vs. chance. However, a constructive Trinitarian theology could overcome this impersonal dialectic since the triune God is exhaustively personal. In addition, God’s relationship with creation is analogical, rather than dialectical. Within a Trinitarian framework, therefore, predestination secures human freedom because a personal God establishes the human personality and because divine and human causality vary directly, rather than inversely, within an analogical relationship.

命运与人类自由的三位一体形而上学

摘要根据安德里亚·维斯特鲁奇(Andrea Vestrucci)的说法,对立框架支配着自由意志与决定论之间的争论,但马丁·路德(Martin Luther)通过将自由意志与决定论结合在一起的上帝观点颠覆了这一框架。我认为这场辩论是由命运与机会的非人格辩证法支配的。但是,建设性的三位一体神学可以克服这种非人格的辩证法,因为三位一体的神是穷尽个人的。此外,上帝与创造的关系是类比,而不是辩证的。因此,在三位一体的框架内,预定之名确保了人类的自由,因为一个人格的上帝建立了人类的人格,并且神圣的和人类的因果关系在类比关系中直接而不是相反地变化。
