A Process Christology

Rating:
Summary: cogent and persuasive
Review: This was almost my first foray into process theology, and it was very rewarding. Several key aspects of Whitehead's thought dropped into place for me while reading it (such as the notion of a person as a sequence of occasions, which I finally grasped as NOT being the destruction of personhood). I was especially impressed by the way in which the difficulties and incoherencies of traditional theism were overcome, and yet the central concerns of Christian faith articulated in a way that made them even more forceful for me than they had been before. But process thought, I am beginning to see, has very deep ramifications; it is so different from the philosophical undergirdings of traditional theism that one has to meditate long and deeply to see all the implications, especially in practical, "concrete" spiritual life. But I am cerainly eager to read more developed writings of the two authors of this book.
