This Element has three main sections. The first carefully defines open theism distinguishes its major variants compares it to other monotheistic models and summarizes its history. The second develops biblical and philosophical arguments for open theism against its main rivals emphasizing a novel philosophical argument that a causally open future must also be ontically alethically epistemically and providentially open as well.
