Not to be confused with the quietist doctrine of Miguel de Molinos.
Molinism, named after 16th-century Spanish Jesuit theologian Luis de Molina, is the thesis that God has middle knowledge (or scientia media): the knowledge of counterfactuals, particularly counterfactuals regarding human action.[1] It seeks to reconcile the apparent tension of divine providence and human free will.[2]: 20 Prominent contemporary Molinists include William Lane Craig, Alfred Freddoso, Alvin Plantinga, Michael Bergmann, Thomas Flint, Kenneth Keathley,[2] Dave Armstrong, John D. Laing, Timothy A. Stratton,[3][4] Kirk R. MacGregor, and J.P. Moreland.
