Millions of people yearn for a profound relationship with the ever-present God who is loving, inclusive, persuasive, and uncontrolling. This understanding of God makes sense and aligns with the Bible, science, the inclusive love and justice of God, and with our lived experience.
From this reality, a new book has emerged, Preaching the Uncontrolling Love of God: Sermons, Essays, and Worship Elements from the Perspective of Open, Relational, and Process Theology, edited by Jeff Wells, Vikki Randall, Thomas Jay Oord, and Nichole Torbitzky. Three of those editors will join us for a conversation about the book and the hopes they have for its impact in the world.
This book is the first-of-its-kind—drawing together a rich and diverse compilation that explores how to preach, teach, and practice Open, Relational, and Process theological perspectives in local faith communities. It is a much needed resource for pastors, ministers of worship arts, lay church leaders, professors of preaching, worship, and practical theology, and anyone seeking a deep understanding of God that aligns with the Bible, science, and inclusive love and justice for all life on Earth.
