The Openness of God: A Biblical Challenge to the Traditional Understanding of God

by Clark Pinnock

The Openness of God: A Biblical Challenge to the Traditional Understanding of God Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written by five scholars whose expertise extends across the disciplines of biblical, historical, systematic, and philosophical theology, this is a careful and full-orbed argument that the God known through Christ desires "responsive relationship" with his creatures.

Synopsis:

Presents A Careful and Full-Orbed Argument that the God known through Christ desires "responsive relationship" with his creatures. While it rejects process theology, the book asserts that such classical doctrines as God's immutability, impassibility and foreknowledge demand reconsideration. The authors insist that our understanding of God will be more consistently biblical and more true to the actual devotional lives of Christians if we profess that "God, in grace, grants humans significant freedom" and enters into relationship with a genuine "give-and-take dynamic". The Openness of God is remarkable in its comprehensiveness, drawing from the disciplines of biblical, historical, systematic and philosophical theology. Evangelical and other orthodox Christian philosophers have promoted the "relational" or "personalist" perspective on God in recent decades. But here is the first major attempt to bring the discussion into the evangelical theological arena.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [177]-202).
