Molinism, named after 16th-century Spanish Jesuit theologian Luis de Molina, is a view about the providence of God in light of human free will.[1]:20 Prominent contemporary Molinists are William Lane Craig, Alfred Freddoso, Thomas Flint, Kenneth Keathley,[1] and Dave Armstrong. The view affirms a strong notion of God's control of events in the world, alongside an equally firm view of human freedom.[1]:20
