SUMMARY:Is Love Indestructible? - With Thomas Jay Oord
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAbout our Presenter:\nThomas Jay Oord\, Ph.D.\, is a theologian\, philosopher\, and scholar of multi-disciplinary studies. Oord is a best-selling and award-winning author\, having written or edited more than forty books. Academic Influence ranks him among the most influential theologians in the 21st century. Oord directs doctoral programs at Northwind Theological Seminary and directs the Center for Open and Relational Theology. He is known for his research and writing on love\, open and relational theology\, science and religion\, evil and power\, and the implications of freedom and relationships for transformation.
