SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: A Systematic Theology of Love
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now\nWhat might theology look like if “God is love” were to be its central theme? And what if divine love were understood from an open and relational perspective\, taking into account our experiences and intuitions of love? \nThomas Jay Oord attempts to answer these questions in his new book\, A Systematic Theology of Love. Compared with Evangelical systematic theology as written by people like Wayne Grudem or liberal systematic theologies as written by Paul Tillich\, Oord’s offering is drastically different.  \nOord lays out various distinctive ideas that emerge when love is understood from an open and relational perspective. Some of those ideas oppose traditional views of God’s relation to time\, creation\, and power. This Process Pop-Up provides an overview to the big ideas that make A Systematic Theology of Love so winsome to so many! \n  \n\n\n\n“My Systematic Theology of Love operates from a particular version of open and relational theology that prioritizes love\, replaces omnipotence with amipotence\, opposes divine timelessness and embraces a living deity\, says God is relational rather than unaffected\, rejects creatio ex nihilo but claims God is the ever creator\, promotes pluriform love\, and much more.” \nThomas Jay Oord\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n  \nThomas Jay Oord\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas Jay Oord\, PhD\, is a theologian\, philosopher\, and scholar of multi-disciplinary studies. Oord directs the Center for Open and Relational Theology and doctoral students at Northwind Theological Seminary. He is an award-winning author and has written or edited more than fifty books. A gifted speaker\, Oord lectures at universities\, conferences\, churches\, and institutions. He is known for his contributions to research on love\, science and religion\, open and relational theology\, the problem of suffering\, and advocacy for the full inclusion of queer people.
