[Milton-L] De Doctrina Christiana

[Horace Jeffery Hodges]

Divine condescension, I meant. My reading focuses upon God's words, "If I foreknew...." Interesting use of "If," however.

Condescension by whom?  Just checking.  Divine accommodation to human limitations, perhaps.  At the point at which God speaks knowledge into time, that knowledge is foreknowledge relative to a time bound perspective, as Prof. Skulsky emphasized in his last post.

In the explanation that you and Professor Skulsky refer to, the term "foreknowledge" would appear to be a condescension to the audience, which is timebound.
