Calvinism vs Molinism - William Lane Craig & Paul Helm - Unbelievable?

2014-01-04T00:00:00+00:00

If God ordains the future, can humans have free will? Are people predestined for salvation? And what does the Bible say on the matter?

William Lane Craig is a Christian philosopher and leading proponent of Molinism, a view of divine sovereignty that seeks to reconcile God’s fore-ordination with human free will.

Paul Helm is a leading Calvin Scholar. He defends the view that God predestines the future, limiting human freedom.
