God is Open: Examining the Open Theism of the Biblical Authors - Paperback

by Christopher Fisher (Author)

The Bible was written by over 35 authors over the course of several millennia. What did these authors believe about God? Is Yahweh of the Bible the same God envisioned by modern Christianity? This book uses critical thinking skills to treat each author independently in order to reveal their individualized concepts of God. Did they believe in the Negative Attributes (aseity, simplicity, necessity, immutability, impassibility, eternity, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, etc.)?
Explore:
- Does God sometimes regret His own actions?

- Does God crowdsource ideas to accomplish His goals?
