	Clark Pinnock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pinnock describes his shifts in thought as a pilgrimage: "So I do not apologize for admitting to being on a pilgrimage in theology, as if were in itself some kind of weakness of intelligence or character.
		Pinnock studied in the Ancient Near Eastern Studies program at the University of Toronto and in 1960 he was graduated.
		As a result Pinnock, along with John Sanders, the issue of whether they should be removed from the membership of that organization was brought to a vote in November 2003.

	Denver Journal - 5:0301 - Most Moved Mover. A Theology of God's Openness
		Pinnock constantly avers that it is the followers of traditional theism (usually his foil is Calvinism) who have allowed their philosophies to cloud and subvert the biblical witness.
		Pinnock is concerned to wrest from the Calvinists and others the equation of 'sovereignty' with 'all-controlling.' God does not have to pull all the strings in the universe and be the cause of all events for him to be sovereign.
		Pinnock ends the chapter with a concerted effort to show how the openness view is not a disguised form of process thought (a common accusation by some of his opponents).

	[No title]
		As Pinnock himself states, "the foundation of my theology of religions is a belief in the unbounded generosity of God revealed in Jesus Christ." This doctrine expresses itself in his understanding of the Holy Spirit's activity outside the bounds of the church.
		Both Pinnock and Sanders have eliminated the notions of divine sovereignty, omniscience, or predestination (or even foreknowledge) from the discussion, leaving a kind but impotent "God of vulnerable love," pleading with people to accept the tragic sacrifice of his Son so that they may be saved from their sins.
		Pinnock and Sanders have eliminated the old covenant community as being a valid "church" which could have been the true (and to that point only) means of grace.

	ANALYSIS: Pinnock takes on Southern Baptists in book on the 'openness of God' - (BP) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Pinnock contends that the Baptist Faith and Message's statement on God is linked to its further statement that the Scripture limits the pastorate to qualified men, and that husbands are to lovingly lead their homes.
		Pinnock acknowledges that Ware understands and fairly states the open view, but Pinnock vigorously disagrees with Ware's contention that the open view is blatantly unbiblical.
		Pinnock further "strikes out in new directions" of his own when he suggests that there is another issue "that has not been raised yet in the open view of God," namely the question of whether God has a body.

		Pinnock continued to affirm that understanding during the first session of our meeting with him, though he was at times not clear about his exact viewpoint.
		Dr. Pinnock also agreed that the word therefore in the ETS Doctrinal Basis implies that the inerrancy of Scripture is inextricably tied to the inerrancy of God, and that he agreed with that statement.
		Pinnock agreed to write a revised form of note 66, which we are including with this letter for your consideration.

		Pinnock suggests that Latin American theologians are weak in four areas: 1) the interpretation of scripture, 2) the meaning of salvation, 3) the nature of man, and 4) the mission of the church.
		Pinnock dedicated this tract for the times to ‘all the men and women in Canada who struggle for reformation and renewal in the churches of our land’ and ‘in loving memory of Francis A. Schaeffer who was valiant for the truth throughout a long and fruitful life’.
		Pinnock might have severed some ties, at a higher theological level, with a form of scholastic and propositional Calvinism, but he is still immersed and entrapped in much of their right of centre approach to economics, the market and the role of society and the state in both.

	From Augustine to Arminius: A Pilgrimage in Theology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Pinnock came to the conclusion that God limits his power, not because the Bible says so, but because he was forced to come to this conclusion once he decided to use his own “logic” to understand the doctrine of God.
		Pinnock is referring to the fact that he would later reject the Biblical view of omniscience and modify it so that God does not know everything that will happen in the future.
		I agree with Pinnock that the familiar Arminians and Roman Catholic doctrine of prevenient grace is not Biblical.

		Clark's editing of the supremely important book, The Openness of God, Inter Varsity 1994 still provokes antagonism from those who assume God must be impassive and immutable (115, 131, 153-159).
		I did not know that Clark Pinnock's 1963 thesis at the University of Manchester under F.F.Bruce was on "The concept of the Spirit in the Epistles of Paul." And that flowered powerfully in Flame of Love: A Theology of the Holy Spirit, InterVarsity 1996 (197-198, 216).
		Pinnock is faulted for changing his mind (191-193), as if having a closed mind is a proof of evangelical orthodoxy.

	Clarion Journal - Clark Pinnock: Canadian Theologian of the Empire
		Clark Pinnock is, probably, one of the most important and one of the most controversial Canadian evangelical theologians.
		Pinnock’s turn to both the best of the charismatic tradition and the political outworking of it seemed to have some affinity with those like David Mainse of 100 Huntley Street and Bernice Gerard, but this was not to be.
		Pinnock has dared to question the dominance of Calvinist theology in both the Reformed and Evangelical tribes, he has probed political traditions the Packer has not, and he has engaged, in a dialectical and dialogical way, theological areas Packer has studiously ignored and avoided.

		Pinnock and his fellow "openness of God" theologians are among the most serious dangers to evangelical theology today.

		Pinnock did not "think of being saved as the normal outcome and being rejected as the exception" before reading my first book (See Postings # 13, "Beginnings of Clark Pinnock's Inclusivism").

		Pinnock is now, after a quarter century of teaching, preaching and writing books, a professor emeritus of systematic theology at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario.
		Pinnock’s theology consistently repudiates doctrines of predestination and similar views based on fatalism or determinism.
		In November of 2002, Pinnock was formally required to defend his ideas and his membership in the Evangelical Theological Society, an international association of conservative scholars that is centered in the United States.

		And ideas like the openness of God, Pinnock's insistence that God isn't a cold, removed, self-sufficient being, but that He loves to be in relation to his children, that He is as moved by us as we are by Him.
		Pinnock likes to compare his view of hell to that of the late C. Lewis, a darling of the evangelical fold.
		It would have been easier for Pinnock and his detractors if he had left the Baptist fold, but he hasn't, for the simple reason that they are his people.

		Clark Pinnock also affirms that OT is committed to the notion (biblically justified in his estimation) that God has provided His creatures with significant and real freedom to make choices and to act in ways that either please Him or cause Him pain.
		God, according to Pinnock, is “happy to accept the future as open, not closed, and a relationship with the world that is dynamic, not static.” This means, according to OT, that God has not infallibly and irreversibly established every event that is to occur in the future.
		Clark Pinnock, for example, agrees that the “triune God is the Creator of the world out of nothing” and that “everything depends on God for its existence.” OT theologians also readily agree that God is all-powerful and all-wise as displayed on the pages of Holy Scripture.

	Open theism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first known mention of a concept similar to open thism with regard to the issue of foreknowledge is found in the writings of Calcidius, a 5th-century interpreter of Plato.
		The writers in favor of free-will theism differentiate their views from those of Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, Arminianism, Eastern Orthodoxy, neo-orthodoxy, and Islam, all of which—differently from one another, but similarly over against open theism—assert that God has a certain knowledge of all aspects of the future.

		Pinnock’s acceptance of the label “consistent Arminianism” seems to acknowledge that open theism is at least partly an attempt to deal with this inconsistency in classic Arminianism.
		Pinnock’s treatment of the biblical support for his view is shockingly short and inadequate, particularly in light of his assertion that the biblical support is overwhelm-ingly on his side.
		Pinnock’s evaluation of his opponents is ironic: “What is happening, I think, is that theologians are trusting their intuitions concerning what God must be like, intuitions shaped by the intellectual environment as much as by Scripture.

		Open theism, as presented in the book by Clark Pinnock called The Openness of God, is basically as follows—this is just a paragraph description of an entire book, but I have taken each phrase of the paragraph basically verbatim out of different components of the book, so I think it’s an accurate reflection.
		This is how it goes: Open theism, according to Clark Pinnock, is the belief that God’s sovereignty is necessarily self-limited by virtue of his creation of free agents.

		A lot of prominent evangelicals would have a problem labelling Pinnock as an evangelical.
