Open theism and other models of divine providence

Alan R. Rhoda

pp. 287-298

In this paper I define "open theism" as a version of "broadly classical theism" distinguished by commitment to a causally, epistemically, and providentially open future. After clarifying open theism, I then compare and contrast the open theistic model of divine providence with its chief competitors: theological determinism, Molinism, and process theism.
