In spite of the production and Suárez’s doctrinal influence in the field of the theology, his work Varia opuscula theologica, which includes the Opusculum Theologicum Secundum, it has not been an object of detailed critical reconstruction. Th is work contributed to the complex debate on how God’s presence is understood in the world, that is to say, how it would be the contest of grace, foreknowledge, predestination, and divine providence with the human freedom, to which it was named the controversy De auxiliis. This paper focus on one of the speculative Jesuit modern resources that is the singular doctrine of middle knowledge. To the molinist approach, Suárez adds the logical argumentation that would make fi t the degrees of omniscient divine knowledge with the degrees of the free human action.
