Episode Details

Jordan talks with Thomas Jay Oord about open and relational theology. They cover topics like: What is open and relational theology? How might it differ from conventional theologies like classical or neo-classical theism? What does it mean for God to be loving? What is the logic of love? If the future is open and undetermined how can God predict the future and have detailed prophecies recorded in scripture? What should we make of texts that ascribe plans to the definite foreknowledge of God? Why assume freedom for creatures must have genuine choices among possibilities?  And much more.
