The Ever Creator and Amipotent Providence

This is part two of the first book ever written with the title A Systematic Theology of Love.

That this is the first should puzzle those who consider love central, if not primary, to God. And yet systematic theologians typically orient their theologies around other concerns, often divine sovereignty, freedom, scripture, or mystery,

Thomas Jay Oord not only puts love first, but he also offers an experience-informed and rationally-coherent account of the universal Spirit of love in relation to creation. This progressive theological proposal draws heavily from the main themes of Christian scripture. But it is also attuned to other religious traditions, science, racial and gender matters, ethical concerns, and more.

This Systematic Theology of Love builds from a particular version of open and relational theology. In prioritizing love, it replaces omnipotence with amipotence, creatio ex nihilo with God as ever creator, divine timelessness with divine temporality, and much more.

To write the first book with the title A Systematic Theology of Love, Oord breaks so much new ground. He must do so to overturn so many bad ideas typical of other systematic theologies.
