The book is similar to (and therefore benefits from) previous evangelical critiques of open theism such as God's Lesser Glory by Bruce Ware, What Does God Know, by Millard Erickson, and Beyond the Bounds by John Piper, Justin Taylor, and Paul Kjoss Helseth. At the same time, it offers enough that is fresh, especially the comprehensive sections on God's foreknowledge, that readers of previous works on open theism will also profit from this one. I would heartily recommend this book to all those interested in a thorough, biblical treatment of God's attribute of foreknowledge, the nature of open theism, and the practical importance of God's knowing the future.
Does the Bible teach that God's foreknowledge is exhaustive and infallible?Does Scripture affirm that God foreknows the free decisions of human beings?Current debates over the extent of God's foreknowledge, argues Steven C. Roy, have not given sufficient consideration to the complete biblical revelation. Seeking to correct this imbalance, Roy provides in-depth studies of dozens of key passages in both the Old and the New Testaments. Cognizant of the current debates between classical notions of divine foreknowledge and more recent "openness" views, Roy interacts incisively with their respective theological positions and draws out implications of biblical teaching for the practical matters of Christian worship, prayer, guidance, suffering and evil, and ultimate hope in the triumph of God.
