. . .an important contribution to the age-old debate on divine
foreknowledge. . . .interesting and easily readable.
*Martha Duah, Andrews University Seminary Studies, Spring 2008*
"This book represents pastoral theology at its best! First, it is
biblical and theological. Its exhaustive focus on biblical texts
makes it unique from all the others and invaluable to own. Second,
this book is pastoral, showing how what we believe about God will
have a profound effect on our lives. This is a book I will consult
regularly, and recommend often!"
*Greg Strand, Director of Biblical Theology and Credentialing,
Evangelical Free Church of America*
"Those who want to know what the Bible really says about God's
knowledge of the future should be sure to read this book."
*Millard Erickson, Distinguished Professor of Theology, Western
Seminary, Portland, Oregon*
"Steve Roy's How Much Does God Foreknow? is a careful, balanced and
persuasive defense of God's comprehensive knowledge of the future
in the face of the challenge posed by 'open theism.' He
demonstrates that the historic Christian view is both well grounded
in Scripture and more pastorally adequate than its alternatives. I
heartily recommend it to pastors, students, seminarians and the
church at large."
*John Jefferson Davis, Professor of Systematic Theology,
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary*
"The rise of open theism has generated a fruitful reconsideration
of biblical teaching concerning God's foreknowledge, and Steven Roy
contributes helpfully to the ongoing exegesis of pertinent texts.
Without attempting to explain how God knows the future, Roy
demonstrates that nothing about the future will take God by
surprise, and he identifies key areas of our lives in which we can
draw comfort from that fact. People who find open theism persuasive
should welcome the opportunity to engage Roy's case for
comprehensive divine foreknowledge. Others who have been troubled
by the open theist proposal, whether they are Calvinists or
Arminians, will be particularly grateful for this clearly written
biblical study."
*Terrance L. Tiessen, Professor of Systematic Theology and Ethics,
Providence Theological Seminary, and author of Who Can Be Saved?*
