Does any know of or can recommend any Bibles or publications that are focused specifically for the proponents of Open View Theism?
TIA,
B. Winningham

| Posted 2/8/2002 7:54 AM (GMT -6) | | Bibles? Oh, any Bible will do. Anything written by Paul, Peter, Isaiah, Jeremiah, or Ezekiel will do for starters. 
Actually...(Pia, here's another great idea I should get paid for)...how about an "Open Study Bible"? Huge project, but wonderful idea. Running commentary on select texts, and stuffed full of articles, maps, etc.
Just remember folks, you heard it from ME first!

| Posted 2/8/2002 8:01 AM (GMT -6) | | Yeah, you guys should get started now. I don't think you want the OV stuff to be just a footnote in some guy's gardening manual.
peace and love, don

 The Open Bible will go where no study Bible has gone before—in addition to the running commentary, articles, maps, etc., the Open Bible with also have a “Choose Your Own Adventure” feature. This feature will allow readers to choose between alternate endings of Mark, experiment with whether Paul’s writings should come before the gospels, and whether they want to stick the Apocrypha somewhere in there.  pia

| Posted 2/8/2002 8:16 AM (GMT -6) | | All Study Bibles in existence today already give you those options (except for the Apocrypha). Faith brothers and sisters, faith! I'm dead serious about an Open Study Bible. Are you kiddin? Zondervan would eat it up. It would sell like hotcakes! I can see it finished in my mind's eye already.
Somebody give me the email to Zondervan's president. I'm writtin the guy tomorrow. I understand the CEO is Lebanese. Leave it to me.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
For Abraham to slay Isaac turn to p. 1982
For Isaac to run in fear turn to p. 1984
For Abraham to consider the moral implications turn to p. 1992
For the traditional story turn to p. 1998
That's hilarious Pia.

| Posted 2/8/2002 8:27 AM (GMT -6) | | We could do a remake of "Run, Lola, Run" with Abraham, played by some old dude, running through the desert chasing Isaac...
OK, you guys. I'll do this myself! And when I'm rich and famous then you'll say, "I remember when he invited us to be a part of this and we laughed at him!" Ha! Except for Don. I'll share royalties with you 'cause you believed in it!

I'm a believer! I would love an open bible! Doc contributed to the study bible I gave my teenagers. (Much more spirit filled than the stuff I grew up with) But this... this would be the bible of all bibles! You are right it would sell without a doubt.
You go guy!
in faith,
Springs

| Posted 2/10/2002 10:14 AM (GMT -6) | | I recommend Paul Borgman's book Genesis: The Story We Haven't Heard as a good source of an openness commentary on Genesis. Then we could use Fretheim's stuff on Exodus. Anyone else have any suggestions for resources for our openness study bible?

| Posted 3/10/2002 6:33 AM (GMT -6) | | Chance, please tell me a little about Paul Borgman's book concerning Genesis. How much of an open theist is he? Would you consider him orthodox in other areas?
