SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: From Amipotence to All-Encompassing Mercy: Integrating Oord’s Theology of Love into the Islamic Tradition
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now\nWhat are the challenges and opportunities of integrating Oord’s amipotence into Islamic theology? \nIn this session\, Adis Duderija\, a scholar of Islamic theology\, will explore his agreement with Thomas Jay Oord’s critique of classical theistic omnipotence and his compelling concept of amipotence.  \nDrawing from Oord’s work as well as his own scholarship\, Dr. Duderija will guide participants through the theological landscape\, examining both the obstacles and opportunities for integrating amipotence within the Islamic interpretive tradition. We’ll delve into how we can reframe our understanding of the Qur’an and its portrayal of God’s mercy\, emphasizing that divine love and mercy are not just attributes but the essence of God’s nature.  \nExpect to engage in thought-provoking discussions about the implications for human flourishing and well-being within our faith traditions. \nTopics include: \n\nCritique of Classical Theism: Examination of Oord’s critique of traditional concepts of omnipotence and the introduction of amipotence.\nIntegration into Islamic Tradition: Exploration of theological obstacles and opportunities for incorporating amipotence within the Islamic interpretive framework.\nUnderstanding Divine Attributes: Discussion on the Qur’an’s portrayal of God’s attributes\, particularly focusing on mercy (Ar-Rahman) and its implications for divine love.\nHuman Flourishing and Well-Being: Analysis of how the concept of amipotence relates to human well-being and the challenges of defining and applying these concepts in various contexts.\n\n  \nQuote\n  \n\n“Mercy\, therefore\, flows from the very nature and essence of God\, who is defined by profound love and compassion. As the creator of all creation\, God’s deepest motivation is unconditional love for it. Mercy is how that divine love expresses itself in this world through gracious forgiveness of mistakes and healing of imperfections. The fountainhead of mercy arises from the infinite wellspring of divine love. In essence\, according to this approach to Islamic theology\, mercy lies at the core of the divine character. It is one of the most exalted names of God\, manifesting love and forgiveness toward creation from the boundless depths of the Creator’s care\, compassion and benevolence. In Islamic theology\, God’s Mercy and God’s Love are\, therefore\, intrinsically connected.” \nAdis Duderija\, PhD \n\n  \nAbout the Speaker\n  \nAdis Duderija\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdis Duderija\, PhD is an Associate Professor in the study of Islam and Society at Griffith University in Brisbane\, Queensland\, Australia. He has been publishing extensively for almost two decades on various aspects of the Islamic intellectual tradition\, especially progressive Islam. \n\n\n \n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat and receive the Zoom information\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n
