Description

"Everyone who believes in God at all believes that He knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow." - C. S. Lewis. This understanding of God's foreknowledge has united the church for twenty centuries. But advocates of "open theism" are presenting a different vision of God and a different view of the future. The rise of open theism within evangelicalism has raised a host of questions. Was classical theism decisively tainted by Greek philosophy? How should we understand passages that tell us that God repents? Are essentials of biblical Christianity -- like the inerrancy of Scripture, the trustworthiness of God, and the gospel of Christ -- at stake in this debate? Where, when, and why should we draw new boundaries -- and is open theism beyond them? Beyond the Bounds brings together a respected team of scholars to examine the latest literature on open theism, address these questions, and give guidance to the church in this time of controversy. - Back cover.
