Hi all,

I'm a college studen doing research on the Open View of Theism. I am personally convinced that this view is correct (after reading Boyd's book "God of the Possible" and several long nights of studying the scriptures), but I'm at a loss of resources other than that book (and a few others from the 80's). Can anyone point me to relevant journal/magazine articles to help me in my research? Thanks a bunch.

Yours in Christ
Sean McNabb

Dear Sean,

The magazine Christianity Today has served as a venue for both sides of the openess debate. I cannot recall the the dates of the issues that feature the debate. Try logging onto www.christianitytoday.com and then select "christianity today magazine" from the drop down box to the right. Next click on "faith and thought" from the menu on the left. Next click on "theology" from the menu on the left. Next click on the article "Does God Know Your Next Move?". I hope this can be of assistance to you.

Sincerly,
Yankee

Sean,

I sent you an email with some of this.

I suggest you look at all of Dr. Boyd's works on this topic.

Also books by Clark Pinnock & John Sanders would be helpful.

Remember to look at footnotes and bibliographies of these works and they will likely point you in a good direction.

I also encourage you to look at God's Lessor Glory for a critique of Open Theism.

This is not a recommendation of one over the other, but these will help you get started.

For my money, Sander's "The God Who Risks," gives a good overall view of open theism. Also, Hasker's God, Time and Knowledge is good. The Most Moved Mover, by Pinnock is good as well...
