 first order predicate logic
First order predicate logic makes a stronger set of ontological Commitments (what sort of entities exists in UoD)than Propositional logic(which deals only with facts).The main one is that the world consists of objects, that is things with individual identities and properties that distinguish them from other objects.
First step before resolution can be applied to a set of formulae it is required to covert the given formulae into to what is known as clausal form.
Resolution: The resolution proof method is a uniform proof method in the sense that all formulas are converted to particular regular form called the ‘clausal form’ involving disjunctions,conjuctions and negations of sub-formulas only.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Order of Preachers
At all events the interior troubles of the order grew out of the difficulty of maintaining the nice equilibrium which the first legislators established, and which was preserved to a remarkable degree during the first century of the order's existence.
The first Dominican doctors, who came from the universities into the order, or who taught in the universities, adhered for a long time to the Augustinian doctrine.
The same solicitude to remove the order from the odium of the inquisitorial office impelled the provincial chapter of Cahors (1244) to forbid that anything should accrue to the friars from the administration of the Inquisition, that the order might not be slandered.

First we encode modal input formulas into layers of finite constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) with more values than just the Boolean ones; then we show that any complete constraint solver for finite CSPs can be used to solve them, and, hence, to determine modal satisfiability, in stead of....

 G.Dowek: Automated Theorem Proving in First-order Logic Modulo
On the other hand, higher-order logic, also called simple type theory, can be expressed as a first-order theory H, and first-order theorem proving methods, such as first-order resolution, can be used for this theory.
First, the first-order unification algorithm has to be replaced by the higher-order one.
However, we can try to understand higher-order resolution as a special automated theorem proving method designed for the theory H.

Ordered resolution: this is the way prolog operates; the clauses are treated from the first to the last and each single clause is unified from left to right.
If the empty clause is produced, then the theorem T logically follows from the set of axioms A. Resolution is refutation complete for first order logic: if a contradiction exists it will be found.
Resolution strategies [UMBC] Breadth first Set of support: at least one parent clause must be from the negation of the goal or one of the “descendents” of such a goal clause.

 Deduction Modulo
Moreover as we stay in a first-order setting, extensions, such as equational higher-order resolution, may be easier to handle.
Hence expressing higher-order logic as a first-order theory and applying a first-order proof search method is at least as efficient as a direct implementation.
The first contribution of this paper is to define a {\em sequent calculus modulo} that gives a proof theoretic account of the combination of computations and deductions.
