| Posted 4/24/2004 2:40 AM (GMT -6) | | Hey, Mark. You will probably have no long wait before someone answers your question. But it might also be an interesting experience looking up what you can find on a search-engine: Google, Dogpile, etc. Try this: www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&q=process+theology
You can begin making a list of names, issues, criticisms, adbantages, etc.
If that works for you, then try pairing other words with it too, like < +"process theology" +evangelical > That MIGHT yeild comparison/contrasts and critiques from either perspective on the other.
The ONLY HARD PART is trying to judge when you have gotten enough of a "review of the literature" to begin making judgements; and from those judgements make determinations.
HAVE FUN!
And THIS site has a critique interesting to read too: encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Open%20Theism

| Posted 4/24/2004 2:57 AM (GMT -6) | | Thanks, I did do a websearch, but the articles weren't really addressed at the issues I'm interested in....
perhaps I should give a few questions, to guide people, the most important one to me at the moment is 'what power, if any, does the God of process theism have in working miracles?' | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 4/24/2004 4:35 AM (GMT -6) | | Hi Mark-
In my view the few who would really answer this don't post anymore (Doc, Mephi, and Modes). But check this out: http://home.apu.edu/~CTRF/articles/1998_articles/basinger.html
David Basinger has a book on the very subject you're interested in here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0887067093/qid=1082816664/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/104-7925001-7644706?v=glance&s=books
I wrote David an email a while back and he was kind enough to email me a paper of his I was trying to track down. I don't imagine he'd refuse to answer a question or two for ya! He is a faculty member at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester. You can get his email info here: http://www.roberts.edu/religion%20and%20humanities/Faculty/basinger.htm.
Here's a helpful bibliograph on Process: http://www.united.edu/uts-drst297bib2-sp04.pdf
