Biblical foundations: determinism and human freedom -- A survey of human freedom during the pre-Reformation period: Augustine (AD 354-430) -- A survey of human freedom during the pre-Reformation period: Pelagius (AD 354? to 418) -- A survey of human freedom during the pre-Reformation period: Aquinas (AD 1225/1227 to 4 March 1274) -- A survey of human freedom during the Reformation and post-Reformation periods: Desiderius Erasmus (AD 1466-1536) -- A survey of human freedom during the Reformation and post-Reformation periods: Martin Luther (AD1483-1546) -- A survey of human freedom during the Reformation and post-Reformation periods: John Calvin (AD1509-1564) -- A survey of human freedom during the Reformation and post-Reformation periods: Arminius (AD 1560-1609) -- A survey of human freedom during the Reformation and post-Reformation periods: The Synod of Dort (13 November 1618 to 9 May 1619) -- A survey of human freedom during the Reformation and post-Reformation periods: Jonathan Edwards (AD 1703-1758) -- Philosophical arguments for libertarian freedom -- Theological arguments for libertarian freedom -- A Spaniard named Luis de Molina (AD 1535-1600) -- Arguments for middle knowledge and mere Molinism -- The apologetic significance of Molinism.
Summary: "In Human Freedom, Divine Knowledge, and Mere Molinism, Timothy A. Stratton surveys the history of theological thought from Augustine to Edwards and reaches surprising historical conclusions supporting what he refers to as "limited libertarian freedom." Stratton goes further to offer multiple arguments appealing to Scripture, theology, and philosophy that each conclude humanity does, in fact, possess libertarian freedom. He then appeals to the work of Luis de Molina and offers unique arguments concluding that God possesses middle knowledge. If this is the case, then God can be completely sovereign and predestine all things without violating human freedom and responsibility." --Goodreads.com
