Beyond the Bounds: Open Theism and the Undermining of Biblical Christianity Paperback - 2003

by John Piper (Editor); Justin Taylor (Editor); Paul Kjoss Helseth (Editor)

In this new release, 12 pastors and teachers take the theology of open theism to task, explaining why its god is not the God of biblical Christianity. They probe the biblical, historical, and philosophical context, language, and interpretation of the debate, giving readers a context for understanding what is at stake when foreknowledge is denied.


First line

C.S. Lewis once wrote, "Everyone who believes in God at all believes that He knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow."
