Hey, I'm currently finishing up my course in Medieval Philosophy, and I was wondering if there were any Molinists believers in here that might be able to help me out. I'm writing this paper about the difference in Aquinas's view of free will and Molina's view, and I’m just wondering if I’m getting his position right. So if you can help me, I’d greatly appreciate it. thanks.

in Christ
Jacob

Jacob,

Try to get your hands on Alfred Freddoso's translation of Molina's 4th Disputation. Freddoso has a very extensive discussion of Molina's theory and the historical context in which it emerged.

Thomas Flint's book, "Divine Providence" is a defense of Molinism. He has a chapter in which he engages with Thomistic objections to Molinism.

Hope that helps.

Alan
