Unpacking Open and Relational Theology: Interview with Tom Oord

Text us your questions!

Tom Oord is back! This time, we're discussing his "main thing": open and relational theology. We explore what it means and its significance in reshaping our understanding of God, love, prayer, and more. Tom answers our questions graciously, and we try to convince Randy that he's wrong.

How is open and relational theology different from classical theism? What does it imply about prayer or freedom or evil and suffering? What does love have to do with it? Is it all just a bit too easy?

As always, Tom is a great sport and a hoot to talk to. We hope you find this conversation valuable.
