Dear Dr. Craig, I had the privilege of seeing you at Passion City today and really enjoyed it.

Thank you for devoting your life to a field

that's so many shy away from for fear of being disproven. It's encouraging and inspiring to see your

commitment. I also want to thank you personally. I've been following your work for years and during

some very difficult skeptical periods of my life, your debates and writings were a lifeline.

They helped me think through my doubts carefully and hold on to my faith.

I'm deeply grateful for that.

I do have a question I have been wrestling with regarding Molinism and the concept of God as a

maximally great being. If God is maximally great, he would actualize the best feasible

world. The one with the greatest salvation rate, consistent with freedom. Yet Scripture speaks

of salvation as narrow and few find it. Matthew 714. That seems far worse than merely

some reject God. It suggests the majority are lost.

Here's my difficulty. If I as a free creature can freely choose Christ, then surely it is possible

for God to design free beings who also freely choose Him. Why not actualize billions of such agents? Even short of

universal salvation, why not tune the dials of human nature so that we were more rational,

altruistic, or aware of his reality, thus raising the salvation rate dramatically without

destroying freedom? Doesn't Molinism, when combined

with the biblical narrow road, risk making God look constrained by counterfactuals of freedom?

He did not choose and cannot change. And if so, doesn't that raise doubts about the coherence

of the maximally great being concept?

I'm conceiving a greater being, one who designs free agents with a higher salvation rate, am I not?

Thank you again for today's talk and for your lifelong work defending Christianity with such rigor.
