What Does God Know and when Does He Know It? The Current Controversy Over Divine Foreknowledge

What Does God Know and When Does He Know It? The Current Controversy Over Divine Foreknowledge by Millard J. Erickson, published by Zondervan in 2003, explores the debate surrounding divine foreknowledge. This edition, comprising 268 pages, delves into the question of whether God knows the future or if it remains unknowable, presenting a critical examination of the controversial movement known as open theism against traditional theological perspectives.

Readers will find a thorough discussion of the implications of both open theism and classic theism, as each viewpoint offers distinct interpretations of God’s relationship with humanity and the future. The book addresses significant topics such as philosophy, free will, determinism, and Christian theology, inviting readers to consider the broader consequences of these theological positions. Through this exploration, Erickson aims to clarify the ongoing debate and its relevance to contemporary understandings of faith and divine knowledge.
