Most Moved Mover

Open theism is generally identified with such contemporary theologians as Clark Pinnock, Gregory Boyd, John Sanders, David Basinger, and William Hasker. However, the greatest living theologian of open theism is undoubtedly Eddie Izzard:

"Among Izzard's comic talents are mimicry and mime. He portrays God (as a bumbling authority figure who doesn't really seem to know what he's doing) using the voice of James Mason."
