Critical Evaluation of Open Theism - how to interact with their writings and thoughts on God.

Though the subjects premise was difficult because it refuted a view of God that was modern and I hadn’t interacted much with its proponents. I felt the reader would become more familiar with them by the authors interaction and quotes. I liked that it interacted with a broad view of historical views of God’s attributes as well as the current issues of theological arguments to give thoughtful interactions with classical and new ideas. Being a scholastic work, it deserves credit for its potency as a pastor it was helpful though difficult to work through as most works on this level. I appreciated the conclusions and summary and especially enjoyed chapter 6 which reveals the dilemma in our current culture of thought and how one can work through these transitions and not fall into the traps of modernism.
I will need to work through some of the text to pull out some important quotes and spend some thought on the issues revealed where open theism bleeds into pulpits and pop pastoral commentary. Good work Dr. Holden!
