We live in an age when many of our evangelical theologians are trading sides. It is common to see good scholars trained in confessional orthodoxy come to question some of the basic doctrines of biblical evangelicalism. This book came out a few years ago addressing the growing trend to rethink traditional notions of God’s foreknowledge and omnipotence or what God foresees and controls in the future. Several respectable theologians in the Reformed ranks contribute essays on the critical problems of the “openness of God” views currently circulating. Part of the larger picture of this trend is the quest to “rescue Christianity” from the clutches of philosophical rationalism. These new theologians are moving away from classical Reformed doctrines, so that what is at stake in our churches is not so much a move away from the Reformation, but from Biblical faith itself. The forward by David Wells is worth the price of the book.
