The Book that is Possible!

For those who are interested in getting a taste of what the "Open View" of God is, you will be pleased with this book.

The Best Introduction on this topic so far

Boyd has done an excellent job in approaching the topic from a Biblical point of view. This is relatively rare in the literature for this topic, which has concentrated almost entirely on philosophy and theology. Boyd examined quite an exhaustive passages of the scripture. Arguing in a logical and clear manner, Boyd has presented a strong case against the traditional concept of God and challenged our understanding and interpretation...
