The clash between Thomist and Process thinkers is still raging on, and this lecture gives great and respectful insight into that debate. Hartshorne is one of those incredible thinkers that can weave years of complex theories and thought into a brilliant and approachable summary. This book is yet another example that demonstrates Hartshorne at his best. Necessary for those who want to understand Whitehead through Hartshorne more while getting a leg up on Thomists.
A very good book for getting a feel for Charles Hartshorne. In their classic "Process Theology" Cobb & Griffin say that Hartshorne's small book "A Natural Theology for Our Time" is a great summary of his work. That is true, but this book is not even half the size of NTOT and also summarizes CH well.
