Greg Boyd delivers his lecture "A Flexible Sovereignty: A Biblical Understanding of Providence and the Nature of the Future" at the Open Theology and Science Conference at Azusa Pacific University, April 11, 2008.
After watching this, I realized how much of an Open Theist I've long been. This is essentially what I learned going to a few different Pentecostal churches since I have been an adult, they just never articulated it this well. In my search for maybe what I thought would be a more well thought out view, I looked into Calvinism and Molinism, but was unsatisfied. And it seems like all I heard from Arminians, Calvinists, Molinists on Open Theism was "well-poisoning" statements. Excellent stuff.

One slip-of-the-tongue in this instance from Greg: he means 'Genesis' 15-16, rather than Exodus, where God reveals his plan for Israel to Abraham.
Still some excellent answers here from Dr. Boyd.
