Philosophical Essays Against Open Theism Summary

Philosophical Essays Against Open Theism by Benjamin H. Arbour

This new collection of philosophically rigorous essays critiques the interpretation of divine omniscience known as open theism, focusing primarily on philosophically motivated open theism and positing arguments that reject divine knowledge of future contingents in the face of the dilemma of freedom and foreknowledge. The sixteen new essays in this collection, written by some of the most renowned philosophers on the topic of divine providence, represent a philosophical attempt to seriously consider open theism. They cover a wide variety of issues, including: the ontology of time, systematic metaphysics, perfect being theology, the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, the problem of evil, and the nature of divine knowledge in general. Philosophical Essays Against Open Theism advances the discussion by wrestling against the assertions of open theism, and will be of interest to both proponents and opponents of this controversial issue.

WordTrade.com, February 2019

Philosophical Essays Against Open Theism is a careful and detailed summa of the numerous philosophical and theological problems raised by OT. More than just that, the volume is also a constructive contribution inasmuch as it not only further explains old problems raised by OT, but also it brings to the reader's attention new issues caused by the approach. Arbour has chosen a variegated group of scholars of different persuasions, a fact that helped to shed light from different perspectives on the problematic nature of OT.
