 | | Theology assumes the truth of at least some religious beliefs and therefore can be distinguished from the philosophy of religion, which does not presume the truth of any religious beliefs. | | | The term theology originated in Christianity, but it can also be used to refer to the study of the beliefs of other religions. | | | See also creationism, religion, philosophy of religion, natural theology, process theology, metaphysics, heresy, odium theologicum, propitiation, liberal theology |

| | Process Philosophy |
| | Process theology accordingly contemplates a wider realm of processes that embrace both the natural and the spiritual realms and interconnect God with the vast community of worshippers in one communal state of macroprocess that encompasses and gives embodiment to such a comprehensive whole. | | | For process theology, then, God is active in relation to the world, and the world's people can and should be active in relation to God. | | | Process theology accordingly invites us to think of God's relationship to the world in terms of a process of influence like "the spread of Greek learning in medieval Islam." Greek learning did not become literally internal to the Islamic world, but exerted a substantial and extensive influence upon and within it. |

| | Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: John Cobb |
| | Process theology allows for a doctrine of the Holy Spirit, relating it to the consequent nature of God, or that aspect of God which is influenced by the world. | | | Process theology teaches that God is dipolar (having two natures) and is integrally involved in the endless process of the world. | | | With regard to his position on God, he is known as a "neoclassical theist," "dipolar theist," or "panentheist" which indicate his relation of continuity and discontinuity with traditional theism in terms of God's relationship with the world. |

| | Process theology |
| | Process theology believes the church can come to strong, healthy convictions about God and Jesus Christ and salvation by working through the many problems. | | | Process theology understands divine power as empowering, liberating, and persuasive rather than as controlling. | | | Process thought emphasizes that the differences among religious traditions are too great for this to be a suitable image. |

| | Process Theology |
| | Whitehead's doctrine of Christ is undefined because Christ is a useless appendage of an outdated orthodox theology. | | | Though another in a long line of developmental theologies, process theology is perhaps a system which invites the greatest current danger to the Christian faith aside from secular humanism. | | | As the foundation of an ecumenical movement, process theology provides a view of God which is particularly dangerous. |

| | Process Theology |
| | Process theology is also panentheistic believing that everything is in God rather than pantheistic which is the idea that everything is God. | | | Process theology challenges the traditional view of God often presented in Christianity. | | | Process theology is grounded in the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947). |

| | ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY, WESLEYANISM, AND PROCESS THEOLOGY |
| | Jesus was resurrected for process theologians, only in the sense that He was powerfully prehended in the experience of the disciples after His death and was taken up into the consciousness of God. | | | The process thinker does not see the question of the relation between process philosophy and orthodox theology in quite the same way I do because he typically exhibits disdain for anything labeled "orthodox." Orthodoxy denotes an expression of the faith which is fixed, stable, normative. | | | In the interest of maintaining Jesus' humanity and freedom, and God's impartiality, process thinkers prefer to say that God was present in Jesus in the same way He is present in all humanity: God provides, in grace, the ideal aims to which all men may respond. |

| | Process Theology, Process Theism |
| | Though process theology has not yet become a major force in the church pew, it is very influential in the intellectual world of the seminaries and graduate schools, and no doubts is the most viable form of neoliberal theology now in the United States. | | | Thus process theology generally stands in the tradition of natural theology, and in particular is associated with the empirical theology tradition in America (Shailer Mathews, D. Macintosh, Henry Nelson Wieman) which championed the inductive, scientific approach in liberal theology. | | | Ogden argued that the "new theism" of process thought, with its world-affirming emphasis, expresses the relevance of Christian faith to secular man, who needs an ultimate ground for his "ineradicable confidence" in the final worth of human existence. |

| | What is Process Thought? |
| | Process theology interprets doctrines in Christianity and other world religions in terms of the relational worldview generated by Whitehead and later developers of his work. | | | Process describes reality as ultimately made up of experiential events rather than enduring inert substances. | | | Process thought thus replaces the traditional Western "substance metaphysic" with an "event metaphysic." |

| | Process Philosophy and the New Thought Movement |
| | Process New Thought is New Thought minus any instances of the fallacy of misplaced concreteness such as notions of changeless (non-growing) impersonal God, enduring substance, changeless and/or active law, and with the addition of insights from such thinkers as Whitehead and Hartshorne. | | | An "eternal now" of past, present, and future coexisting in their fullness is a denial of the reality of creative process; an "eternal now" may be an emotionally satisfying symbol of the comprehensiveness of God, but in reality there is endless development. | | | Mystical experience is awareness of the larger context of existence, especially with regard to awareness of the divine love process, of providing initial aims, which is the giving activity of divine love, and the receiving of completed occasions, permanently keeping them, and making them available to all upcoming occasions--the receiving activity of divine love. |

| | A Friend's Love: Why Process Theology Matters |
| | process theology is irrelevant and unimportant to the Christian faith. | | | In process theology, neither belief nor unbelief caries any moral stigma, because the world is ambiguous, but unlike in Hick's thesis, God has not intentionally created it that way to test our faith. | | | If God does not know the future with certainty, they say, then God is not worshipful. |

| | The fact that GOD, cosmology and theology doe NOT change at mans will is proof that there IS an " orthodoxy" but whether thats validation of the "orthodox church" is NOT in evidence. | | | Thus we are moved to echo Karl Barth's insistence that theology needs to be a free science - free, above all, from any presupposed philosophical schema that would limit, and hinder, the church's ability to hear the Word of God spoken to us in Jesus Christ, and to bear witness to that Word. | | | It is this Word that we seek to have as the measure and the substance of our own theological witness, and we invite process theists, and others, to join us in that quest. |

| | Welcome to PanenDeism.com |
| | The theology (or "Deology") that is based on PanenDeism is known as "Process Deism- A Technology of Mind", and is actually a modern re-vamp of "America's forgotten religion", Classic Deism. | | | Process Deism combines ideas of "PanenTheism" (see article on "Introduction to PanenDeism", elsewhere on this website), "Process Theology" and "Classic Deism" to provide a unifying and updated theology for the 21st Century thinker and beyond. | | | As positive and potentially life-changing as this empowerment might become, the cold reality is that, left unchecked by a powerless and antiquated theology developed during the mythological Iron Age, this technological empowerment threatens to destroy organized society as we know it today. |

| | Brian McLaren: What are your thoughts about process theology... |
| | It was through reading about process thought that I was able to imagine for myself a Christianity sustainable in the postmodern world, and it is what brought me back to the church. | | | However, once I made the move back in, I realized that, for all of the wonderful insights I think process thought has into God’s workings in the world (and particularly about prayer), it seems to be lacking when it comes to explaining why Jesus is important. | | | I am a big fan of John Haught’s “God After Darwin” for the ways he integrates process theology (drawing from A. Whitehead) with a high Christology which emphasizes Christ’s “kenosis” or self-emptying. |

| | Whereas pantheism would assert that "All there is IS God," a process approach, and panentheism, would support the simple solution of adding a single word, and say instead that "All there is is IN God." Inclusion is by no means synonymous with identity. | | | And so every becoming occasion begins with God as creative love: everlastingly leading, luring, urging all actualities to new heights of fulfillment and enjoyment. | | | Did not Ernest Holmes himself say that if he came back in a hundred years and found Religious Science unchanged, he’d be surprised and disappointed? |
