Description: In its redefinition of the nature of Divine Providence, open theism adjusts the entire picture of God's Sovereignty and involvement in our lives. The author carefully summarizes and critiques this dangerous doctrine from a thoroughly Biblical perspective, providing an excellent treatment of both the classical and openness views. He explores their implications and faithfully pinpoints the subtle ways that open theism undermines our trust in God and lessens His Glory in our lives.
