Does God predestine who will believe, or does He predestine those whom He knows will believe? If the latter, then would predestination be dependent upon His foreknowledge? If God knows what is going to happen, does this not mean that it will happen and that freewill is an illusion? Or if free will actually does actually exist, does this mean that the future is open so God cannot know freewill events? Is it possible for God to both know and not know certain events? For example, can He forgive and forget and yet be omniscient? The author's present book, Predestination and the Open View seeks to answer such questions and is intended as a supplemental study for his magnum opus, The Outer Darkness. While advocating God's use of middle knowledge, Predestination and the Open View does not necessarily implement it in the traditional manner. Arminian affirmations of human free will are shown not to override God's sovereignty regarding unconditional security. The Book of Life is shown to be problematic for both the open view of God's foreknowledge and the cooperate view of election. Discussions of the location of New Jerusalem and various models of time are also included.
