Process Theology: An Introductory Exposition

7 reviews
John B. Cobb Jr., David Ray Griffin

Westminster John Knox Press, 1977

In the process of becoming...
One of the hallmarks of process theology, and the process philosophy that underpins it, is that it views all of actual reality as being in process, either becoming or decaying (which is, in fact, becoming something else), but that there is no static 'thing', that actual entities are in fact always in flux -- this is in keeping with modern science, philosophy, and culture, but also makes a sort of ...

Progressive Christians Speak: A Different Voice on Faith and Politics

3 reviews

Westminster John Knox Press, 2003

The moral basis for the progressive agenda
This book provides a great resource for progressives who want to learn the moral underpinnings for their point of view. This is done on a whole wealth of issues such as globalization, abortion, the environment and gay rights among many others. If you are a christian and a progressive and want to stand up to the "religious right", then I recommend this book!

Christ in a Pluralistic Age

John B., Jr. Cobb

Wipf & Stock Publishers, 1999

From Substance to Experience in a concept of Christ for the Post-Modern Mind
It is interesting to read this analysis, written in 1975, which provides good insights into the post-modern movement in American culture and its affect on thought and faith. Cobb takes a Process Philosophy approach to analyze ways to interpret the concept of Christ as incarnation of the Logos in Jesus, the historical person. He determines how this concept may be communicated in concepts of ...

John B., Jr. Cobb

Chalice Press, 2003

Process made simple

Jeanyne Slettom is editor of the journal `Creative Transformations' devoted to issues of process and faith. Together they have put together a question-and-answer format text on process theology, addressing many of the key questions of ...

For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy toward Community, the Environment, and a Sustainable Future

9 reviews
Herman E. Daly, John B. Cobb Jr.

Beacon Press, 1994

Humane and incisive
Because of the large number of issues and sometimes conflicting solutions proposed, this is a difficult book to classify. Key, however, is the authors' profound refusal to subordinate the common good of the community to the god of the free market. This does not mean the elimination of markets where they have proven effective and non-destructive. It does mean keeping their operation within ...

Essentials of Christian Theology

6 reviews
Stanley J. Grenz, John B., Jr. Cobb, ...

Westminster, 2003

Excellent overview of contemporary theology
As a seminary student who read this book over the summer, not for a class, but just to keep up my theological "chops," I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone wanting to explore different facets of theology from a multitude of viewpoints. The best use of this book is to read the introductions and the essays, and note the authors and issues of interest for future exploration. Because of the ...

Encountering Evil: Live Options in Theodicy

2 reviews
John B., Jr. Cobb, David R. Griffin, ...

Westminster John Knox Press, 1982

Very well done
Although there are probably as many theodicies as there are people in the world, Stephen Davis does a fine job selecting scholars who represent various, major viewpoints on the classic problem of evil to elucidate their positions. John Roth represents a theodicy of protest whereby it is insinuated that God may not be totally good. God, says Roth, has a dark side and so must be persuaded by ...

State University of New York Press, 1992

Superb overview of the history of process thought.
David Ray Griffin's essay on Hartshorne is more than worth the price of the book all by itself.

Grace and Responsibility: A Wesleyan Theology for Today

4 reviews
John B., Jr. Cobb

Abingdon Press, 1995

Underrated
It appears to me that the reviews below are not representative of all who have read this fine work. While this is not Cobb's best book by any stretch, he does a fine job showing how his process hermeneutic applies to Wesleyan theology. Ask any ten Methodists what it means to be Wesleyan, and you'll likely get several different answers. Cobb finds a way to discern a unifying strand in the ...

Praying for Jennifer

1 review
John B., Jr. Cobb

Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2001

A new answer to "Why doesn't God answer my Prayers?"
I particularly like Dr. Cobb's use of theology in story form in this text. He makes this a very usable book for anyone interesting in deepening their understanding of the significance of prayer in our Christian lives. Yet, this is a text that can be helpful to the most educated clergy who nonetheless, may still struggle with what prayer means. The journey of Jennifer's friends is a ...
