The question of the nature of God's foreknowledge and how that
relates to human freedom has been pondered and debated by Christian
theologians at least since the time of Augustine. And the issue
will not go away. More recently, the terms of the debate have
shifted, and the issue has taken on new urgency with the
theological proposal known as the openness of God. This view
maintains that God's knowledge, while perfect, is limited regarding
the future inasmuch as the future is "open" and not settled. This
Spectrum Multiview volume provides a venue for well-known
proponents of four distinct views of divine foreknowledge to
present their cases: Gregory A. Boyd of Bethel College presents the
open-theism view. David Hunt of Whittier College weighs in on the
simple-foreknowledge view. William Lane Craig of Talbot School of
Theology takes the middle-knowledge view. Paul Helm of Regent
College, Vancouver, presents the Augustinian-Calvinist view. All
four respond to each of the other essayists, noting points of
agreement and disagreement. Editors James K. Beilby and Paul R.
Eddy introduce the contemporary debate and also offer a conclusion
that helps you evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of
each view. The result is a unique opportunity to grapple with the
issues and arguments and frame your own understanding of this
important debate. Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of
viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving
contributors the opportunity to present their position and also
respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.
