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.
