Luis de Molina was a leading figure in the remarkable sixteenth-century revival of Scholasticism on the Iberian peninsula. Molina is best known for his innovative theory of middle knowledge. Alfred J. Freddoso’s extensive introductory essay clears up common misconceptions about Molina’s theory, defends it against both philosophical and theological objections, and makes it accessible to contemporary readers.

Another Excellent Translation by Freddoso,
This review is from: On Divine Foreknowledge (Concordia, Part IV) (Hardcover)
This is part iv of the "Concordia" written by Luis de Molina and translated by Alfred J. Freddoso (Notre Dame). This is the primary text for the philosophy known as Molinism. In this text, not only does Freddoso write a wonderful introduction which explains the background and history in which Molina wrote the "Concordia," but it also helps the reader to understand Molina's position on Divine foreknowledge and future contingents. In addition to this excellent intro, Fredosso provides his reader with notes (a type of commentary) throughout the actual text of the "Concordia." If you are wanting to gain a better understanding of Molinism as it relates to Divine foreknowledge and future contingents, then this is the best primary text available.
