Deep dives
The difference between provisionism and Molinism
Provisionism and Molinism are two different categories of thought. Molinism addresses the question of how God's knowledge works in time and deals with human responsibility. Provisionism, on the other hand, focuses on God's provision for all people and emphasizes libertarian free will and human responsibility. While many provisionists also identify as Molinists, one is not required to be a Molinist to be a provisionist.
