This book is like an introduction to the "open theology" material. As such, it feels somewhat like a fly by. The biblical chapter did not have many new things to say to me, but the "historical considerations" was much more relevant to me since I am weak in that area. The research probably benefits from multiple authors, but I also felt that it made the discussion feel slow, and sometimes repetitive.
If you want to think about ideas like the suffering of God and how we see God's activity in time, I would recommend something more practical and biblical. Many authors (as I mentioned above) have written on these topics without making dogmatic arguments that tend to remove focus from the application of biblical truth. This is an important debate, but it is primarily important because we need to balance our metaphors about God in the same way that the Bible does and live in light of that truth. Expository writing can meet those goals. However, this book is intended as a theological introduction to a way of thinking, and I guess it would meet that goal pretty well if you wanted a clear introduction "open theology."… (mehr)
