Thomas Jay Oord: Authority, Atonement, Abortion, and a Big Hug

I love getting to talk with Tom Oord. In this episode, we finally got to hang out in person! We were both in Norway for the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology, and it became the occasion for a long-overdue hug. During the conference, we snuck off to my room to record a podcast where we discussed…

• Why John Cobb is awesome (and you should join the Christianity in Process class)
• the relationship between Process Theology and Open & Relational Theology
• Biblical Authority
• Atonement theories
• Abortion
• Evangelism
