Modern theistic apologetics presents the Open–Closed Theism divide as a comprehensive explanation of divine knowledge, sovereignty, and freedom. Each side offers arguments, texts, and philosophical defenses, giving the appearance of theological rigor and exhaustiveness.
Avoiding the Living God demonstrates that this appearance is misleading.
Using a quantified TMQ framework, this book analyzes the apologetic structure beneath the debate and exposes a reification–omission fallacy: God is first reduced to a conceptual object, then defended within a closed dichotomy that excludes living ontological reality from consideration.
Across five analytical chapters, the authors show how:
Reification precedes argumentation
Categorical closure restricts possible conclusions
System coherence replaces ontological fidelity
Living Theism is omitted before theology begins
The result is not a dispute between two views of God, but a shared methodological failure that shapes both.
This work does not defend Open Theism, Closed Theism, or any hybrid alternative. It identifies how the apologetic form itself determines what can be said about God before Scripture or philosophy are engaged.
Written for advanced readers in apologetics, philosophy of religion, and theological method, Avoiding the Living God is an examination of how modern apologetics argues—and what that mode of argument makes impossible.
