"This outstanding book . . . is a genuinely pivotal contribution to the lively current debate over divine foreknowledge and human freedom. . . . Hasker's book has three commendable features worthy of immediate note. First, it contains a carefully crafted overview of the recent literature on foreknowledge and freedom and so can serve as an excellent introduction to that literature. Second, it is tightly reasoned and brimming with brisk arguments, many of them highly original. Third, it correctly situates the philosophical dispute over foreknowledge and freedom within its proper theological context and in so doing highlights the intimate connection between the doctrines of divine omniscience and divine providence."-Faith and Philosophy"[God, Time, and Knowledge] is an elegantly written, forcefully argued challenge to traditional views, and a major contribution to the discussion of divine foreknowledge."-Philosophical Review"This is a very competent, thorough analysis of the conflict between free will and divine foreknowledge (or, on some acounts, timeless divine knowledge of our future). It is exceptionally clear."-Theological Book Review

God, Time, and Knowledge
Overall, not a bad book on polytheist concepts. The author does note in his work that polytheism does not have a specific "theology" - and most of the book spends time on various concepts of polytheism.
The written aspect of the book was a little tough to follow, and I was expecting an academic work because I had checked out the author's background prior to reading. However, just a few pages into the introduction, and it became abundantly clear that the author was aiming this towards an audience of theologians and wanna-be theologians. The writing style, and the assumption by the author that the reader would be able to understand some theological concepts were even larger tip-offs to the prospective audience...and were also a big turn-off for me.
As I noted, overall its not a bad piece of work. But be a little prepared going in...I would never recommend this to someone trying to understand concepts of polytheism with no background in understand theological concepts. But for individuals with a more established background or a desire to move into theological circles, concepts and conversations - this would definitely be a book for those folks, as it is aimed directly at them as an audience.
