Has anyone read Geisler's book "Creating God in the Image of Man"? Does he bring anything new to the table other than his coinage of the term "neo-theism"?

| Posted 10/26/2001 8:43 PM (GMT -6) | | I've read it and I would answer by saying, "not really." I think (in retrospect), that Geisler's book may be so weak that it came out early, before many open theism was more solidified as a movement. Geisler does not seem to be able to differiate between open theism and process theology and that sinks the book in a lot of ways. Plus, he spends much a whole chapter proving God through Thomas Aquinus instead of the Bible, which plays into the main criticism that open theism has of classical theism, that of tradition dictating the attributes of God and not scripture. It really is a very weak book. A much better (though still flawed) critique of open theism is Ware's The God of Lesser Glory. Geisler does have another one coming out in Nov. The Battle For God, which is also on open theism. I am hoping its better. John 17:3 Harold
