Process Theology: On Postmodernism, Morality, Pluralism, Eschatology, and Demonic Evil

by David Ray Griffin

Why process theology? Why now? In these eight essays, David Ray Griffin not only illuminates key ideas of process theology but offers compelling arguments for their importance in addressing the urgent issues of our time. Available for the first time in one place, these essays are the summation of a life’s work, including Griffin’s carefully developed arguments for the rejection of supernaturalism and divine omnipotence, and in favor of religious pluralism, panentheism, and the “neo-classical” theism of Charles Hartshorne. Always relevant, Griffin draws a direct line from a society’s theology to its ideology, which in the U.S. includes the denial of climate change, the logic of war, and the loss of a moral center.

[Miles · Rating 5 out of 5]

Came for the chapter on demonic evil, stayed for the increasingly convincing case for this way of thinking about reality, science, religion, and philosophy. DRG writes clearly and persuasively as always.
