Hey Gang,
 
I'm looking for a Boyd quote from Letters From a Skeptic to substantiate that he affirmed that God knows all possibilities even when he published that originally. I know we've discussed it here before, and I remember Tom giving a definitive quote from that book here, but I can't seem to find it using the search engine here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
John


May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Correspondence 4  Does God know the future? Pg 30-31 deals with this.
 
If you don't have the book I can type up some quotes.
 
Boyd is clearly affirming omniscience in an open view way in the answer. However, there is no mention of (a form of) the word possible (or related concept) in this correspondence. Therefore, I would conclude, simply based on the book in question that Boyd had not yet come to the "possibility twist" on on the open view by the date on this correspondence: April 29, 1989.
