Eschatology and Process Theology - A Conversation with Dr. Thomas Oord - 196

Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast

How do Eschatology and Process Theology fit together? This week we try and answer that question by sitting down with Dr. Thomas Jay Oord. Dr. Oord is an expert on Process Theology, also known as Open and Relational Theology.

Many days it feels as though the end of the world is upon us. This is even true for people across the proverbial aisle. Although for much different reasons. In this conversation we explore endings through a Process Theology lens.

Will things get better? Will there be an ultimate ending? What is God’s role, or lack thereof, in endings? Listen and find out what Dr. Oord and the Irencast team have to say about Eschatology and Process Theology.
