Risk taking from Hasker’s qt meaning that God doesn’t know what will happen. Basinger argues that the God with MK “is a risk taker in the sense that he adopts certain overall strategies - for example, the granting of significant freedom - which creates the potential for the occurrence of events that he wishes would not occur.”
This sounds like it squares with the God of the Bible to me…hmm.

…indeed informed by full and complete knowledge of the respective outcomes of any possible choice God might make. The element of risk (of someone choosing other than that which God is guiding them toward by circumstances according to his will) is eliminated entirely.”
(As an argument for the position of theological determinism)

Interesting quote from William Hasker:
Re: middle knowledge “God’s knowledge of the future is not derived from the actual occurrence of future events, but rather from the knowledge of counterfactuals of freedom together with God’s knowledge concerning which states of affairs he will actualize. But the knowledge of the counterfactuals is prior…to God’s decisions about what to create, so these decisions are..
