Views

[edit]

Moreland has defended Thomisticsubstance dualism,[13][14]libertarian free will,[15] andlife after death.[16][17] Moreland has defended the existence of angels and demons, arguing that he knows they exist due to both Christian doctrine and personal experience.[18][19] He is anold earth creationist[20] who is a critic offideism.[21]

In 1978, Moreland signed theChicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy.[22] In 2017, he signed theNashville Statement.[23]

In 2022, Moreland co-authored a paper with theologian Dr. Tim Stratton, entitled "An Explanation and Defense of the Free-Thinking Argument".[24] The paper argued that determinism could not account for "epistemic responsibility, whereby people are held accountable for what they do or not believe, and further argued that God is a "deity of deception", if determinism is true. The paper has come under some scrutiny,[25] but has also found some intellectual support.
