The Latest BLOG POSTSA Month of Peace June 6, 2018 / Ignacio CastueraAt a time when Muslims are too-often portrayed in negative light, it would benefit us all very much to learn about faithful practitioners, like Badshah Khan, who believe that the way of peace is deeply woven in the fibers of Islam, the religion of peace.Read MoreRevaluing the Values of Science, Religion, and Education May 20, 2018 / John CobbWe need sciences, religions, and educational institutions that recognize the great need for people to value the natural world, are committed to preserving and renewing our earthly home, and oriented around the objective of creating an ecological civilization.Read MoreMay Musings May 5, 2018 / Ignacio CastueraReligion is deeply intertwined with a number of significant events that took place in May and are observed around most of the world.

Oord argues that in addition to lamentation, it is part of the Christian tradition to offer explanations for what’s happening, and to give an account of the hope Christians have.Read More Open and Relational Thomas Jay OordIn this article, Oord argues that the Coronavirus is not God’s plan.

Polk(ENTIRE BOOK) The path that through the centuries led Christian theology away from the dynamic and interactive God of the biblical writings to the immutable deity of classical theologians also involved a de-emphasis upon divine love in favor of divine power. David Polk traces this path with great care in remarkably accessible language, showing how at numerous points the ideas of creative thinkers, pointing to a better way, were largely ignored. With equal care and lucidity, Polk traces the eventual turn, still in progress, toward a new understanding that recovers what was lost and provides the groundwork for a creative resolution to age-old theological conundrums appropriate to our contemporary situation. Concluding with a resolution of the love-power question through a concept of empowering love, the book makes an important contribution to contemporary theological reflection. I can heartily recommend it not only as a textbook for college and seminary students but also as material for advanced-level adult study groups in local churches. It is not an easy task to speak to such a wide spectrum of persons, and we should be grateful to Polk for having done so. ~Russell Pregeant, Professor of Religion and Philosophy and Chaplain, Emeritus, Curry CollegeRead More Process Theology Lloyd Geering(ENTIRE BOOK) Has Christianity anything to say in this secular age?
