Open theists like to picture the God of classical Christian theism
as a distant, despotic, micromanaging sovereign. The god of Open
theism, on the other hand, is ready to enter into new experiences
and to become deeply involved in helping us cope as we, with him,
face things we simply did not know would happen. They insist that
God has knowledge, but not all knowledge, certainly not knowledge
of the future acts of free beings. Such Open theistic inferences
reveal a deep-seated devotion to Enlightenment categories and
narrow, unpoetic imaginations. Ideas have destinations, and one of
the consequences of our trying to read the Scriptures without any
poetry in our souls will be the eventual destruction of any
possibility of ministering to souls. Just imagine the hymn writer
trying to lift up the downcast - "I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who doesn't know much about it either."
