Kenneth Keathley's book is a fine explanation of the Molinist perspective of how God’s sovereignty interacts with man’s freewill. Molinism (also called moderate Calvinism or 3 point Calvinism) answers many questions raised in the sovereignty versus free will controversy and capably answers many of the apparent conundrums that afflict 5 point Calvinism. The one possible draw back to the book is that it seems to be written to an audience already familiar with advanced Calvinist and Arminian argume

Probably the best book I've read on the Salvation debate (Calvinism vs. Arminianism). Unlike other books that focus on winning the argument at the expense of the other view points, Kenneth actually tries to explain the opposing view point (which is difficult given the number of variations even within Calvinism) and then layout the case for the Molinist view point. He focuses primarily on the Calvinist position but does give a cursory overview of the Arminian position. I was disappointed in how l

Great Application of molinism to salvation. Very unique book - answers questions Bill Craig didn't deal with in The Only Wise God. Great discussions of original sin and soft libertarianism, which is worth the price of the book alone. Some parts were unsatisfying though. His 'resistible monergism' leaves molinism with the same problems that Arminianism has: it leaves room for boasting, contrary to Scripture .

Great, easy to read intro to molinism/middle knowledge. This, along with Craig's Only Wise God, is probably the 'go-to' book on this topic now.

I think this book is very helpful for Christians to realize there are other options than just Arminianism and Calvinism. Monism is very interesting and helps bridge The best of C. And A together. I think this book was a little harsh on Calvinists, even if I tend to agree with his criticism of Calvinism. He seemed to get a little personal in his critique of individual Calvinists. I think this has the potential to cut off conversation between Calvinists and Non-Calvinists.
