If God knows human actions in advance, do humans really have
freedom of choice? Throughout the centuries various solutions have
been offered as to how to retain or reconcile both the concepts of
divine omniscience and human freedom. One solution focuses on the
idea of middle knowledge. This theory originates with the Spanish
Jesuit Luis de Molina, was contested by Reformed theologians such
as Herman Bavinck, and makes a remarkable comeback among
present-day analytical philosophers such as William Lane Craig.
Apart from a wealth of philosophical considerations, the appeal to
biblical texts also plays an important role in the work on middle
knowledge by each of these thinkers. The book examines their
writings and investigates how contemporary biblical scholars
interpret the biblical texts used by them. The author elaborates a
creative proposal as to how these gained insights apply to the
theory of middle knowledge and what this means for our overall
evaluation of this theory.
