<![CDATA[Molinism has been gaining traction in various circles within the last few decades as one of the major models for reconciling divine sovereignÂty and human freedom among the Reformed, Arminians, open theists, process theists, and possibly more. Luis de Molina (1535-1600) was thought to popularize the idea that God’s so-called middle knowledge is an additional cateÂgory within our typical twofold underÂstandÂÂing of divine foreknowledge.
