Open theism paints the picture of a flexible God who engages in a
dynamic history with his free creatures, a history in which the
future is not yet definitely known to God but rather unfolds as a
range of open possibilities. As one might expect, this position has
proven fractious. Though much of the noise surrounding the issue of
God's predestination and humanity's freedom has quieted in recent
years, the conversation is ongoing and a continual source of
contention in evangelical circles. God In Motion is the first
in-depth analysis of the biblical-hermeneutical questions driving
the heated open theism debate. Unlike previous books on the open
view of God, Manuel Schmid's work does not take sides. Rather, God
in Motion offers a qualified and critical look at the standard
arguments of both the proponents and critics of open theism and
suggests new perspectives. Schmid proposes an alternate path to
understanding what is at stake in this debate, bringing open theism
into conversation with weighty representatives of German-language
theology such as Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, Wolfhard Pannenberg, and
Jurgen Moltmann. God in Motion shows ways out of the theological
dead ends that have characterized the debate, especially regarding
the biblical grounding of open theism, by giving careful
consideration to lessons learned from the controversies of current
theological discourse. In all of this analysis, Schmid conveys a
passion for serious pursuit of a biblically, theologically, and
philosophically coherent Christian doctrine of God for the
twenty-first century. Those wrestling with questions about biblical
theology and eager to gain a more nuanced conception of God out of
the richness of biblical texts and traditions will greatly benefit
from God in Motion, as they follow Schmid past the polemics of
theological controversy to fresh and challenging insights.
