‘A Death He Freely Accepted’: Molinist Reflections on the Incarnation
Traditional Christians face a puzzle concerning the freedom and perfection of Christ.Jesus the man, it seems, must have possessed significant freedom for him to serve as a moral example for us and for his death to have been truly meritorious.Yet Jesus the Son of God must be incapable of sinning if he is truly divine.So if Jesus is both human and divine, one of these two attributes -significant freedom or moral perfection -apparently needs to be s…
The possibilities of Incarnation: Some radical Molinist suggestions
The traditional doctrine of the Incarnation maintains that God became man. But was it necessary that God become the particular man He in fact became? Could some man or woman other than the man born in Bethlehem roughly two thousand years ago have been assumed by the Son to effect our salvation? This essay addresses such questions from the perspective of one embracing Molina's picture of divine providence. After showing how Molina thought his theo…

Providence and the Problem of Evil
Divine Providence: The Molinist Account
A new anti-anti-Molinist argument
This paper argues that William Hasker's ‘A new anti-Molinist argument’ offers a fascinating but ultimately unsuccessful new instalment in his continuing campaign to discredit the picture of providence based on the theory of middle knowledge. It is first shown that Hasker's argument, though suffering from a seemingly irreparable logical gap, does nicely highlight a significant (and hitherto unduly underemphasized) point of contention between Molin…
Middle Knowledge and the Doctrine of Infallibility
The thesis that God possesses middle knowledge has become a renewed point of dispute in recent discussions in the philosophy of religion. Originally promulgated in an explicit fashion by the 16th century Spanish theologian Luis de Molina, the claim at issue is that there are contingent propositions which are such that God has absolutely no control over their truth value. Central to Molina's claim is the thesis that, for any person who does or mig…
