I am a huge fan of Chief
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. In the podcast linked below, Rabbi Sacks lays out, with his
usual extraordinary erudition, what is at stake for both faith and human
dignity if human free will is illusory. I finally don't agree with his
conclusion (that we have free will and it is synonymous with resistance to bad
habits and addiction), or his assertion that belief in human free will is
indispensable to faith, but he places the question in context better than
anyone else could:
