Based on where you are in your exploration

Molinism(Used as a theodicy-style response to the demographic argument from nonbelief): The view that God knows what free creatures would freely do in counterfactual situations (middle knowledge), and God uses this information in the way God governs the universe
William Hasker(as the originator of the 'no-freeze' objection): A contemporary American philosopher who specializes in philosophy of religion and metaphysics, known for developing arguments about how God can know future events without controlling them.
block universe(Contrasted with views on which the future is open or indeterminate): The view that past, present, and future all equally exist as a four-dimensional spacetime structure (eternalism)
compatibilism(Offered as a response to the traditional problem of free will): The philosophical position that free will and moral responsibility are compatible with determinism being true
libertarian freedom: The view that freedom involves a radical, indeterminist exercise of power.
open theism(Philosophy of religion; proposed solution to the divine foreknowledge and free will problem): The theological position that God does not have knowledge of future contingent events, either because no true propositions about such events currently exist, because such propositions cannot be known by anyone including God, or because God voluntarily refrains from knowing them to preserve human freedom.
