About this title

Synopsis

In a reader-friendly, question-and-answer format, John B. Cobb, Jr., the foremost process theologian, addresses many questions and misunderstandings about process theology. He writes for everyday people of faith, seeking to put process ideas into plain language with clear implications for faithful living. Through thirty-six questions relating to God, Christ, the church, the Bible, humankind, and ethics and society, Cobb explores the thought and application of process theology to all aspects of a faithful life. How are we to understand God? What does it mean to be a faithful Christian? Do traditional doctrines such as incarnation and atonement really make sense? Must people choose between faith and fact? In answering these and other questions, Cobb opens our minds to new understandings and gives us new ways to relate to our world and the God at work within it.
