dc.descriptionThis article is based on the research of extraordinary lecturer Mark Pretorius for his PhD dissertation, entitled ‘Exploring the interaction between theology and science, with special reference to the understanding of reality’. The research is done under the supervision of Prof. Dr Johan Buitendag, Department of Dogmatics and Christian Ethics, Faculty of Theology, University of Pretoria (2005).en
dc.description.abstractOpen theism is a theological position taken by a number of scholars and deals with human free will and its relationship to God, including the nature of the future. This brief article explores this relationship and challenges the tenets of open theism by arguing that it is a flawed system. The major thrust of the article asks two questions: Firstly, are the views of open theism consistent with God’s divine attributes, namely all-knowing and all-powerful. Secondly, how should Christians relate their beliefs to a particular Zeitgeist?en
