The problems with Open theism lie deeper than most critiques suggest. This book interacts not only with the truth claims of Open theism, but also with its distorted aesthetic and ethical assumptions. Open theists characterize the God of classical Christian theism as a distant, despotic, micromanaging, petty, Mr. Burns-like sovereign, with little time for nonsense or tissues. They depict the god of Open theism as a nineties sort of guy, ready to enter into new experiences, feel our pain, and link pinkies into an unknown future. Ideas have destinations, and one of the consequences of our trying to read the Scriptures without any poetry in our souls will be the eventual destruction of any possibility of ministering to souls. Contributors to this collection of essays include John MacArthur, John Frame, Peter Leithart, Steve Schlissel, R. C. Sproul, Jr., and Douglas Wilson.
