Process Theology

Autor Bruce G. Epperly
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2014
Process theology is considered a very complex and difficult to understand system. Is it possible to get a basic grasp of what it is and how it impacts our lives and service to others? In this brief, lively, and engaging book, Dr. Bruce Epperly untangles the difficult concepts of process theology and shows how we can envision a God who is in relation to us throughout our lives here and in the next world. He believes that "God is present at the moment of our conception, guides us through the adventures of this lifetime, urging us to rejoice in embodiment and bring healing to our world, and upon our final earthly breath receives us with open arms with visions of future adventures in communion with God and our fellow creatures." Not only is this theology easy to understand, but it also challenges us to live out God's adventure in with joy, sharing God's life with all of God's creatures. This book is an excellent introduction to process theology, useful for small groups or individual study, and includes a list of resources for further study.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This is an introductory guide to Process Theology for undergraduates. As part of Contiuum's 'Guide for the Perplexed' series, this text provides an accessible introduction to process theology, aimed at nurturing the theological imagination of undergraduates, pastors and interested laypersons. It describes the major themes of process theology and relates them to the everyday lives and spiritual commitments of people today. In addition to addressing traditional theological issues, Epperly addresses cutting edge issues in theology and ethics such as pluralism and postmodernism, matters of life and death, science (technology and genetics), and emerging forms of Christianity. This text is designed for seminary and university classes as well as congregational study. It will help readers to overcome the obstacles created by the technical language often employed by process theologians. Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding material.

Recenzii

'Process theology comes in many forms.  Some technical philosophical forms confuse more than enlighten.  Bruce Epperly offers his own form of process theology in accessible narrative and confessional prose. The anecdotes, case studies, and stories bring alive process perspectives on crucial issues of our time. This book should further establish and expand process theology's standing as a persuasive alternative for making sense of God and the many dimensions and questions of our existence.' -Thomas Jay Oord, Ph.D. Author of 'The Nature of Love: A Theology' (Chalice) and 'Defining Love: Philosophical, Scientific, and Theological Engagement' (Brazos)
'Unbelievable: Bruce Epperly really succeeds at communicating process theology in its full breadth and depth, in ways that will satisfy newcomers and advanced students alike. Yet he does it almost wholly without the use of technical terms! Epperly's writing flows beautifully. It's laced with personal examples and replete with its own Whiteheadian moments, such as "Reality is profoundly ecological" or "In each moment, we are artists of our experience" .... Perhaps the best in-depth introduction to process theology available for non-specialists.' - Philip Clayton, Ingraham Professor, Claremont School of Theology, USA
'Given that process theology (PT) has earned a reputation for being one of the least accessible theological movements, Bruce Epperly does a good job in helping to clarify the main arguments and translating the vocabulary into something akin to everyday usage.'
There is much to commend with this book... for a cogent, lucid, well-illustrated, grounded, passionate, comprehensive introduction to one of the most lively and influential schools of theological thought of the last fifty years, Epperly's book does its job very well.
This books is one of the latest instalments in the excellent 'Guide for the Perplexed' series.
'Every intelligent Christian, regardless of his or her religious orientation, should heed this sensible guideline for rational discussion.' -Theological Studies
