Battle Royale X: Is the Future Settled or Open? Book or PDF

Product Overview

Bob Enyart, pastor of Denver Bible Church, debates Professor SamLamerson of D. James Kennedy's Knox Theological Seminar in Ft.Lauderdale, Florida.

TheologyOnline.com (TOL) hosted a debate on Openness because of the popularity of the issue, and because of the centrality of the matter. The Open View holds that the future is not settled, but open, and therefore unknowable. The Settled View is a convenient name for the divergent theological positions that agree in their opposition to the Open View. Most Christians, regardless of their stand on predestination and free will, believe that the future is exhaustively foreknown and settled, and therefore not open.

TOL has become one of the more popular web sites for discussing the Bible,evangelizing unbelievers, and debating creation, morality, current events, and theology. Founded by elders of ColoradoÂ’s Denver BibleChurch, over the years, thousands of TOL members have posted millions ofquestions and comments, and thousands more people read the boards (the forums, discussion threads, and Battle Royales). So, we expect that during the debate and for years to come, a significant audience will read and evaluate Battle Royale X on Openness Theology.
