DIFFERENT PORTRAYALS OF DIVINE AUTHORITY AND HUMAN AGENCY
This article explores the varied representations of divine authority and human agency in religious texts, classical literature, and philosophical discourse. Through a comparative analysis of selected works such as The Bible, The Qur’an, Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, and Milton’s Paradise Lost, the study examines how divine will is presented in relation to human autonomy, moral responsibility, and fate. The article also discusses how cultural and historical contexts influence these portrayals and their implications for understanding the human condition
