Some here might be interested in the following book by John Cowburn, SJ. It's title is "Free Will, Predestination and Determinism".

www.amazon.com/Predestination-Determinism-Marquette-Studies-Philosophy/dp/0874627540/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245684885&sr=8-1

The book is fairly wide-ranging, but he does come out clearly in favor of non-bivalentist version of open theism. I find that somewhat surprising because I would have thought that Roman Catholics were dogmatically committed to divine atemporality, which is incompatible with open theism.

Hello Alan,
I think we might be surprised about the range of views within Catholicism despite their "official" view of a given subject. Glad to see this.
