| Molinism led to a serious theological struggle between the Dominicans and the Jesuits for more than three centuries. |
|
| A third approach is Molinism, after the Jesuit scholar Luis de Molina of the late sixteenth century. |
|
| Vanarrogan's lucid explanations may even inspire otherwise reluctant lecturers to tackle difficult topics such as Molinism in a freshman course. |
|
| One influential argument that open theists use against defenders of foreknowledge who do not also accept Molinism is that foreknowledge without middle knowledge is useless for divine providence. |
|
| A third and final criticism of Molinism, from a process perspective, is that it doesn't really preserve the freedom of the creatures in the way it claims. |
|
| One of the primary objections to simple foreknowledge, which rejects the counterfactuals on which Molinism relies, is that it is not providentially useful. |
