古典加爾文主義存在很多缺點,而古典阿民念主義則將它修訂。可是,古 典阿民念主義也存在一個重要的缺點,那就是上帝受祂的簡單預知所限而未能 作出計劃。在本文裏,筆者首先表述莫林那主義的內容,從而指出它可以消解 古典阿民念主義這個缺點。除此之外,筆者也介紹了莫林那主義的變異版本: 調適主義和中介知識加爾文主義。它們對原本的莫林那主義帶來了挑戰,故筆 者也逐一地回應它們。最後,筆者介紹基佛利的玫瑰方案,並且指出它還有可 修訂之處。

ABSTRACT

There are many shortcomings in classical Calvinism while classical Arminianism attempted to revise it. However, classical Arminianism has a significant shortcoming, that is God is limited by His simple foreknowledge and His sovereignty of planning is undermined. In this chapter, the author firstly introduces Molinism which can revise that shortcoming of classical Arminianism. Then, he introduces the variants of Molinism: Congruism and Middle Knowledge Calvinist Model. These systems challenge Molinism and the author disproves them. Lastly, he introduces Kenneth Keathley’s ROSES proposal and points out that there are still shortcomings for revision.
