Reframing God: An Introduction to Open and Relational Theology
Reframing God
A 4-Session Course on How to Think About God & Love … And Why It Matters.
A lot of people are moving away from thinking of God as angry, judgmental, and intimidating toward a God of love. But what is the foundation for this move? What does the Bible have to say about it? One really helpful way forward is open and relational theology.
As our teacher Thomas Jay Oord says in his book Open & Relational Theology: An Introduction to Life-Changing Ideas, “The paths leading to this perspective are diverse, and its ideas help many to make sense of God, their lives, our beautiful but sometimes painful world. Even the basics of open and relational theology breathe new life into our quest to understand God, make sense of existence, and live well together.”
