Open Theism: An Answer to My Critics

Dialog: A Journal of Theology, 2005
Abstract:  Open theism is a version of historic free will theism which posits God as granting to human beings significant freedom to cooperate with or to resist the will of God for their lives.

Religious Studies, 2006
Open theists have generally affirmed that God exercises general sovereignty, seeking to achieve an overall providential goal related to our freely choosing to love Him, though the path to that goal is uncertain.

However, open theists insist that God does not know what we will freely do, and the other side disagrees. The problem is that both sides seem to misread the Bible in order

Fatalism and Bivalence. Can be Theism Really Open?

2018
In this paper, we consider the prospects of a particular response to the arguments for logical and theological fatalism: the thesis that there is no true future and that the propositions concerning the future have no truth-value. The difficulties of this position are stressed: on the logical level, the negation of the intuitive principle of bivalence ...
