If anyone is just dying to read a theology of God's providence, feel free to give mine a read.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
And no, I'm not an Open Theist :)
A Theology of God's Providence
It may be easier to copy and paste it into a Word Document to read it. I hate how Google Docs formats.
Also, since writing this paper last year I am also really interested in Jurgen Moltmann's idea that God's locus of being is in the future so it's not that God knows the future, it's that He's simply remembering the past. Interesting stuff!

I skimmed it this morning and look forward to reading it all the way through. Ill let you know what I think them but so far, it looks really good Dustin.
I liked what you said about "lament"...
Just saw this today... there's some good stuff but also some logical problems in there. I do not agree that Scripture teaches that God has perfect foreknowledge — see Does God Know the Future? by Michael Saia for a very thorough analysis (Bob has a copy) — but if He does, then by definition libertarian free will simply cannot exist. ("Compatibilist" free will is IMO unworthy of the name.) Also, the Grenz quote about God's presence in all time is a non sequitur. Using his terminology: I exist in a segment of time from my birth to my death, but it doesn't follow that my entire lifespan is "present to" me or that I know the future.
