| Posted 3/25/2002 9:36 PM (GMT -6) | | I recommend looking in The God Who Risks (specificly ppg. 194-206). That gives a good treatment of it. I am sure that Bruce Ware should have a copy of that book on hand for you to look at 
Another good overview is Greg's piece in the Four Views on Foreknowledge book. Those two ought to quench your desire for a good in depth explanation of foreknowledge according to openness.

Hey Doc-
Did you dream up the phrase "infinite intelligence"? Did you know Henri Poincare spoke of the idea of "an infinite intelligence" which is omnispresent in the universe? He rejected it, but he did acknowledge that such an omnipresent and infinite intelligence, if it did exist, would allow for the possibility of genuine symulteneity. I just thought it was cool that he used the phrase "infinite intelligence."

IMO, "God of the Possible" gives the best and most concise expl. of foreknowledge from the OV perspective. But if you're looking for comparisons, then Sanders' book would be most handy.
How come I don't hear all that much about 'Openness of God' (a near 'classic', given how hot the topic is today)? :)

| Posted 4/14/2002 3:03 AM (GMT -6) | | TGB, I did "dream up" the concept of "infinite intelligence." I'm unfamiliar with Poincare's work on this. Indeed, I'm unfamiliar with anyone elses work on this. Has anyone else explored the concept? I'd be interested.
Alwyn: How come I don't hear all that much about 'Openness of God' (a near 'classic', given how hot the topic is today)?
Doc: The Openness of God isn't discussed all that much because a) it was written with too much philosophical jargon, and thus has not had a wide reading; b) other works on openness have greatly "fine tuned" the openness project -- in some cases significantly modifying the proposals in this work, in other cases significantly strengthening proposals in this work -- so the work is not considered as relevant to the contempory discussion.
Still, it is a "classic" in the sense of being ground breaking. It launched the present debate.
Blessings
Greg
