OPEN AND RELATIONAL THEOLOGY IBD

Sinopsi

Most theologies suck. TheyâÇÖre too technical or they describe a God nobody understands. Sometimes the God portrayed sounds like a controlling boyfriend or absentee parent. Rather than woo or persuade, most theology books clobber readers into submission.This book is different. Thomas Jay Oord presents a theology that makes sense. It fits the way we live our lives and matches our deepest intuitions. To the surprise of some, it harmonizes with sacred scripture... at least the good parts. And it promotes a genuinely loving God.Open and relational theology is controversial. Oord and others have lost their jobs because they embrace it. Others have been booted from religious communities or shunned by families and friends. ItâÇÖs that radical! This way of thinking is life-changing - for good - for so many.This theology doesnâÇÖt suck. People around the world are turning to open and relational theology. It answers our biggest questions about good and evil, purpose and freedom, love and science.'Timely!'á- Cody Stauffer & Craig Morton, All ThatâÇÖs Holy Podcast'Cosmic!'á- Pete Enns & Jared Byas, Bible For Normal People Podcast'Conceptual!'á- Seth Price, Can I Say This in Church?
