"Opening" up Evangelical Theology!
The Openness of God attends closely both to the broad biblical text and Christian piety when offering a much-needed "open" alternative to deterministic Calvinism. Through an easy reading, multi-dimensional, textual format, Rice, Sanders, Pinnock, Hasker and Basinger offer a more or less comprehensive evangelical, "free-will" theism that corresponds closely with the theology of many scholars in the Arminian, Wesleyan, and Charismatic traditions. This should be a required text for seminarians of all stripes. Perhaps the book's only drawback is that its authors sometimes misrepresent process theology and thus fail to adequately consider more of the theological alternatives offered by process thought. Otherwise, this is the kind of book you will want to give a friend who has been exposed to just enough classical theology to want to write off theology altogether. This is good medicine for former evangelical intellectuals who may have left the fold disillusioned by the Calvinistic brand of evangelical theology. Take, eat, digest, and flourish!

God IS Relational!
If you've ever wondered what the point is of praying to God if he has already decided what to do, you need to read this book! As Pinnock and others argue, you can thank the Greek Philosophers for that mentality. This book does an excellent job of detailing the 'Open View' of God, or 'free will theism'. The authors point out that the God of the Bible seems to be genuinely affected by and involved with creation. He is above all, Love, and not merely self-sufficiency. The authors effectively argue that God, while ultimately in control, took some risk by creating beings with genuine free will. He has chosen to limit himself by engaging in genuine "give and take" relationships with his creation in a real time environment. This book gave me a healthier view of God, as well as pointed out an urgency of prayer and evangelism because they genuinely DO make a difference!

Welcome to the Second Reformation!!
After reading and studying The Open View of God I cannot say much, except that it was refreshing! How unfortunate it is that Sproul has sprawled so far and Reformed philosophy is so pervasive in the populist theology world today. Thank God He still is enlightening beyond the Reformation!

The Open View challenges the classical-Philosophical view of God preached and taught by so many in a systematic and decisive way. Our traditional understandings of immutablity, providence, sovereignity, and immpassiblity need to truly be re-examined in the light of our practice/experience and, as the authors so argue, in the light of the Biblical text. Aristotle is put in his place, sorry, but the un-moved mover is not the God of the Holy Writ. To be ever changing and relational is to be Divine. I Give this Book a strong 10!!
