Molina, Luis

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.57 sec.

Molina, Luis (1535–1600)

Spanish Jesuit theologian. He attempted to reconcile human free will with predestination, which gave rise to disputes with the Thomist school of theology (based on the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas), headed by the Dominicans. His chief work is Concordia Liberi Arbitrii cum Gratiae Donis/The Union of Free Will and Divine Grace (1588).

He was born in Cuenca, New Castile, entered the Society of Jesus at an early age, and taught theology at the college of Coimbra in Portugal. Later he was appointed professor of theology at Evora, returning to Spain after 20 years. Shortly before his death he was appointed professor of moral theology at Madrid.

He also wrote commentaries on the first part of the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas and De Justitia et Jure (1592).
