Thomism, Molinism, and Congruism: Better Alternatives to Calvin and Arminius?

Most Protestants have found themselves entrenched in debates surrounding the theological systems of John Calvin and Jacob Arminius. But did you know that there are more systems than just these? In fact, Thomas Aquinas and Luis de Molina offer systems that may hold better promise in reconciling divine sovereignty and human freedom than Calvin and Arminius' systems do. In this episode, we will examine the beliefs of Thomas Aquinas and Luis de Molina concerning sovereignty and human freedom. Finally, it will be shown why Pastor Brian has gravitated to a Thomist/Molinist concept known as "congruism."
