Open Theism
Open Theism
I'm opening this topic for discussion (and Mick, I'm not neglecting your last post - I expect to get to it.)
I was talking with a friend last night who is an open theist and, not knowing much about open theism, I did some reading on it. I was wondering what your guys' thoughts were on it? If you don't know much about it, I suggest you take a look at it.
I think the main argument is that it questions the sovereignty of God in a lot of ways. It definitely leans toward a more Armenian-type theology, which angers the Calvinists. :)
Clark Pinnock is essentially the 'father' of modern day open theism. It borders heresy in a lot of ways but I think that's what makes it so interesting. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

Open Theism...a truly theological discussion. I remember checking out a book last year that intrigued me. It was called "The God Who Risks" and it was almost completely about the sovereignty of God in discussion with the traditional and non-traditional arguments. It was written from the perspective of complete 'open-theism'. I Asked Kettler about it, and he merely said, "it is a position that needs to be wrestled with." Like you Matt, I know little about it...but this may be a good place to begin the wrestle...maybe not..in lew of such discussions of the past.
Well written article.
