Abstract
- According to classical Christology, Christ's human will was always in conformity with and never contrary to the divine will. Call this notion 'volitional non-contrariety' (VNC). But theologians disagree over how to explain VNC. In this article, I consider four models of VNC: the Parameter Model, the Beatific Vision Model, the Molinist Model, and the Causal Model. I argue that the Causal Model, coupled with a compatibilist account of freedom, is the best way to understand VNC because libertarian accounts of Christ's human freedom inevitably fail to preserve some other element of classical Christology.
