The uncontrolling love of God
Book • 2015
In "The Uncontrolling Love of God," Thomas Jay Oord presents a theological perspective that emphasizes God's love as the primary attribute.
He challenges traditional views of God's omnipotence and omniscience, arguing that a truly loving God would not be all-powerful or all-knowing in the traditional sense.
Oord proposes an "open theism," where God's knowledge and power are limited by God's respect for free will.
This perspective allows for a more relational and dynamic understanding of God, emphasizing God's love and commitment to creation.
The book explores the implications of this view for various theological issues, including evil, suffering, and human freedom.
