However, 'open' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etheism claims to offer a more biblical and a more practical alternative to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etraditional views of God's sovereignty and involvement in our lives. Bruce \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWare carefully summarises and critiques this redefinition of the nature of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGod. He provides an excellent treatment of both classical and open theism, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eexplores their implications and pinpoints the subtle ways in which open \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etheism undermines our trust in God and lessens his glory. \u003c\/span\u003e\"'Open' theism offers a God who, like us, does not know the future. Its sponsors see this humanising of God as logical and devotional gain. Bruce Ware sees it as a way of misreading Scripture and impoverishing the life of faith, and he makes a compelling case for his view.
