Is Love Indestructible? – With Thomas Jay Oord

If God is love and love is uncontrolling, how should we think about God’s power? How could a God of love create a world with so much suffering? Many theologians have proposed different accounts of God’s love, God’s power, and the reality of suffering over the centuries. In this webinar, we’ll focus on perspectives in Open and Relational Theology, particularly Process Theology. Thomas Jay Oord and Jacob Given discuss common objections to Process Theology as well as their reasons for embracing an Open and Relational worldview.
