[God’s foreknowledge is] the selective knowledge of God that makes one an object of God’s love; it is more than mere knowledge or cognition beforehand. The term focuses on God motivation to act, relating to persons rather than what the persons will or will not do.

H. Wayne House
Der US-amerikanische evangelikale Theologe, Neutestamentler und Jurist H. Wayne House (* 1948) lehrte an mehreren Hochschulen und Seminaren in den USA. Er profilierte sich durch Arbeiten an der Schnittstelle von Exegese, Apologetik und Recht sowie als Mitbegründer des Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, das ein komplementaristisches Verständnis der Geschlechterrollen vertritt. Für Bibelleser sind vor allem seine didaktischen Übersichtstafeln und Bibelkommentare von Bedeutung, die historische, theologische und bibelwissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge systematisch ordnen.
