"Rice gives us a splendid overview of the history of open theism along with insightful responses to major criticisms. He does so with a gentle spirit that identifies areas of agreement between its critics and proponents. He carefully notes areas of difference among open theists on several topics. Lastly, he explores open theism in relation to topics such as the Trinity, the church, and eschatology. This is a clearly written guide to contemporary open theism."
John Sanders, professorof religious studies, Hendrix College
"Richard Rice offers us a fantastic book on a subject he knows intimately: open theology. The book explores precursors to this contemporary movement while addressing open theism's critics and explaining its varieties. Rice summarizes main ideas while breaking new ground to explain how the open view beautifully portrays doctrines central to Christianity. This book is now the ground floor for discussions of open theism in the present and future!"
Thomas Jay Oord, author of The Uncontrolling Love of God and God Can't
