Last week, in light of the biblical phrase 'The Lord of Host' or the 'The Lord of War', I recommended to my Bethlehem Institute students a book by Tremper Longman III entitled, God is a Warrior.

Here is an article by Longman summerizing the argument of his book.

This book is a good antidote to Greg Boyd's warfare theology.

You will find here a critique of Gregory Boyd's Satan and the Problem of Evil: Constructing a Trinitarian Warfare Theodicy, which I co-authored with my good friend A. B. Caneday. 

One crucial element we discuss is that there is a great irony regarding Boyd's understanding of foreknowledge, especially in Romans 8.  The irony is that the open theist position is to many more "relational" than the reformed position, yet as it turns out the view which Boyd holds turns God's foreknowledge into that of the knowledge of an actuary.  That is, Boyd's view of God's foreknowledge is as remote and cold as one can get, for an actuary deals simplywith statics and probabilities.  This is very interesting especially since most if not all in the reformed camp take God's foreknowledge in Romans 8 to regard God's fore-love.  That is, God fore-knew/loved specific individuals.  When this is contrasted with what Boyd writes, the reformed position is much more relational, which the best reformed writers and theologians have always argued.
