He is the author of Free Will: Sourcehood and Its Alternatives (Continuum, 2008) and Free Will in Philosophical Theology (Continuum, forthcoming). He is also editor of Metaphysics and God (Routledge, 2009), Arguing aboutReligion (Routledge, 2009) and (with Craig Boyd) Virtues and Their Vices (Oxford University Press, forthcoming).

This is a splendid contribution to the literature on free will. Set in the borderlands between philosophy and theology, Timpe's work shows how a substantial vision of free will can be integrated into a robust account of sin and grace. The concepts deployed are clear, the arguments articulated are felicitous, and the overall result is a book worthy of our closest attention.
