No Other God

Description

Summary: The theological movement known as open theism is shaking the church today, challenging the Reformed doctrines of God’s sovereignty, foreknowledge, and providence. In this timely work, John M. Frame clearly describes open theism and evaluates its biblically. He addresses questions such as: How do open theists read the Bible? Is love God’s most important attribute? Is God’s will the ultimate explanation of everything? Do we have genuine freedom? Is God ever weak or changeable? Does God know everything in advance? Frame not only answers the objections of open theists but sharpens our understanding of the relationship between God’s eternal plan and the decisions or events of our lives.

Comments:

“A convincing . . . biblical case for a God whose sovereignty is something not to be avoided, but cherished.” – William Edgar

“A devastating critique of the concept of human freedom as articulated in the ‘open theistic’ view.” – Roger Nicole

“Open theism is bad news. The appearance of this book is good news. Precisely because God is closed and not open to nullification of his purposes, he has opened a future for believers that is utterly secure.” – John Piper
