Those who for medical reasons needed to arrange a make-up test should have already contacted me. If you haven’t received the necessary information for the make-up test by tomorrow (the 14th) at noon, let me know:

phl210y@branemrys.org

Hurray! Hurray! It’s Test Day!

Molinism

In class we discussed Molinism in a very simple and stripped-down way. Those who are interested in the details might consider starting with the following online resources:

* Catholic Encyclopedia article on Molinism.

* Middle Knowledge, Truth–Makers, and the “Grounding Objection” by William Lane Craig discusses a common objection against Molinism.
