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.
