Notes
A survey that sets each evangelical dispute out as competing positions rather than arguing one. Boyd is the open theist whose position Bruce Ware's God's Lesser Glory, also held here, exists to refute -- and the foreknowledge chapter here states it in his own words. The Library of Congress contents note appears to stop at the salvation debate; the book is longer, so the list may be partial.
