"Everyone who believes in God at all believes that He knows what
you and I are going to do tomorrow."
-C. S. Lewis
This understanding of God's foreknowledge has united the church
for twenty centuries. But advocates of "open theism" are presenting
a different vision of God and a different view of the future.
The rise of open theism within evangelicalism has raised a host
of questions. Was classical theism decisively tainted by Greek
philosophy? How should we understand passages that tell us that God
repents? Are essentials of biblical Christianity-like the inerrancy
of Scripture, the trustworthiness of God, and the Gospel of
Christ-at stake in this debate? Where, when, and why should we draw
new boundaries-and is open theism beyond them? Beyond the Bounds
brings together a respected team of scholars to examine the latest
literature, address these questions, and give guidance to the
church in this time of controversy.

"We have prepared this book to address the issue of boundaries
and, we pray, bring some remedy to the present and impending pain
of embracing open theism as a legitimate Christian vision of God. .
. . As a pastor, who longs to be biblical and God-centered and
Christ-exalting and eternally helpful to my people, I see open
theism as theologically ruinous, dishonoring to God, belittling to
Christ, and pastorally hurtful. My prayer is that Christian leaders
will come to see it this way, and thus love the church by counting
open theism beyond the bounds of orthodox Christian
teaching."
-From the Foreword by John Piper
