Humans have long wondered about the origin of the universe. And such questions are especially alive today as physicists offer metaphysical theories to account for the emergence of creation. Theists have attributed the universe’s origin to divine activity, and many have said God created something from absolute nothingness. The venerable doctrine of creatio ex nihilo especially emphasizes God’s initial creating activity. Some contributors to this book explore new reasons creatio ex nihilo should continue to be embraced today. But other contributors question the viability of creation from nothing and offer alternative initial creation options in its place. These new alternatives explore a variety of options in light of recent scientific work, new biblical scholarship, and both new and old theological traditions. - Häftad, Engelska, 2014

IVP Readers'' Choice AwardRarely does a new theological position emerge to account well for life in the world, including not only goodness and beauty but also tragedy and randomness. Drawing from Scripture, science, philosophy and various theological traditions, Thomas Jay Oord offers a novel theology of providence—essential kenosis—that emphasizes God''s inherently noncoercive love in relation to creation. The Uncontrolling Love of God provides a clear and powerful response to one of the perennial challenges to Christian faith. - Häftad, Engelska, 2005

Some scientific studies suggest that human beings are innately selfish and that Christian virtues like self-sacrifice are a delusion. In this intriguing volume, esteemed theologian Thomas Jay Oord interprets the scientific research and responds from a theological and philosophical standpoint, providing a state-of-the-art overview of love and altruism studies. He offers a definition of love that is scientifically, theologically, and philosophically adequate. As Oord helps readers arrive at a clearer understanding of the definition, recipients, and forms of love, he mounts a case for Christian agape and ultimately for a loving God. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2009

Wesleyans and Wesleyan theology have long been interested in the sciences. John Wesley kept abreast of scientific developments in his own day, and he engaged science in his theological construction. Divine Grace and Emerging Creation offers explorations by contemporary scholars into the themes and issues pertinent to contemporary science and Wesleyan Theology. In addition to groundbreaking research by leading Wesleyan theologians, Jurgen Moltmann contributes an essay. Moltmann''s work derives from his keynote address at the joint Wesleyan Theological Society and Society for Pentecostal Studies meeting on science and theology at Duke University. Other contributions address key contemporary themes in theology and science, including evolution, ecology, neurology, emergence theory, intelligent design, scientific and theological method, and biblical cosmology. John Wesley''s own approach to science, explored by many contributors, offers insights for how two of humanity''s central concerns--science and theology--can now be understood in fruitful and complementary ways. - E-bokEngelska, 2010

Open Theology offers an advantageous framework for engaging the sciences. With its emphasis upon creaturely freedom, relationality, realist epistemology, and love, Open Theology makes a fruitful dialogue partner with leading fields and theories in contemporary science.In Creation Made Free, leading proponents of open theism explore natural and social scientific dimensions of reality as these dimensions both inform and are informed by Open Theology. Important themes addressed include evolution, creation ex nihilo, emergence theory, biblical cosmology, cognitive linguistics, quantum theory, and forgiveness. - E-bokEngelska, 2012

Since its inception, the discussion surrounding Open Theism has been dominated by polemics. On crucial philosophical issues, Openness proponents have largely been devoted to explicating the underlying framework and logical arguments supporting their perspective against competing theological and philosophical perspectives. As a result, very little constructive work has been done on the interconnections between Open Theism and the natural sciences. Given the central place of sciences in today''s world, any perspective that hopes to have a broad impact must necessarily address such disciplines in a sustained and constructive manner. To date such engagements from the Openness perspective have been rare.God in an Open Universe addresses this deficiency. This book demonstrates that Open Theism makes a distinctive and highly fruitful contribution to the conversation and constructive work occurring between philosophy, theology, and the sciences. The various essays explore subjects ranging from physics to prayer, from special relativity to divine providence, from metaphysics to evolution, and from space-time to God. All who work at the intersection of theology and the sciences will benefit greatly from these essays that break new ground in this important conversation. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

Verletzte Menschen stellen aufrichtige Fragen über Gott und das Leid. Einige "Antworten", die sie erhalten, verweisen auf ein Mysterium: "Gottes Wege sind nicht unsere Wege."
Einige Antworten vermitteln, dass Gott das Böse für einen größeren Zweck zulässt. Einige sagen, das Böse sei Gottes Strafe.
Diese üblichen Antworten versagen. Sie belegen nicht die Wahrheit, dass Gott jeden immerwährend liebt. "Gott kann das nicht!" gibt hier eine glaubwürdige Antwort, warum ein guter und mächtiger Gott das Böse nicht verhindert.
Der Autor Thomas Jay Oord ist der Überzeugung, dass Gottes Liebe von Natur aus nicht kontrollierend ist. Gott liebt jeden und alles, also kann Gott auf niemanden und nichts erzwingende Kontrolle ausüben. Dies bedeutet, dass Gott das Böse nicht im Alleingang verhindern kann. Gott kann Verursacher von Bösem nicht einfach stoppen, egal ob Menschen, Tiere, Organismen oder leblose Gegenstände und Kräfte.
In "Gott kann das nicht!" gibt Oord einen plausiblen Grund an, warum einige geheilt werden, andere jedoch nicht. Gott arbeitet immer daran, alle zu heilen, aber manchmal kooperieren unsere Körper, Organismen oder andere Geschöpfe nicht mit Gottes Heilungsarbeit. Oder die Bedingungen der jetzigen Schöpfung stehen einer Heilung entgegen, die Gott tun möchte.
Einige denken, dass Gott Leiden verursacht oder zulässt, um uns Lektionen zu lehren oder unseren Charakter zu formen. "Gott kann das nicht!" widerspricht dem. Oord sagt, dass Gott vielmehr das Gute aus dem Bösen - das Gott niemals wollte - hervorbringt. Gott benutzt Schmerz und Leiden, ohne es zu wollen oder zuzulassen.
Die meisten Menschen glauben, dass Gott das Böse im Alleingang überwinden kann. In "Gott kann das nicht!" erklärt Oord, dass Gott Kooperation braucht, damit die Liebe jetzt und später regiert. Dies führt auch zu einer besseren Sicht auf das Leben nach dem Tod, welche er "unnachgiebige Liebe" nennt. Diese lehnt traditionelle Vorstellungen von Himmel, Hölle und Vernichtung ab. Die unnachgiebige Liebe hält an der Möglichkeit fest, dass alle Kreaturen und die gesamte Schöpfung auf Gottes Liebe reagieren.
Gott kann das nicht! ist in verständlicher Sprache geschrieben. Thomas Jay Oords Reputation als weltbekannter Theologe verleiht den radikalen Ideen des Buches dabei große Glaubwürdigkeit. Er erläutert diese Gedanken durch wahre Geschichten, Illustrationen und den Schriftbefund.
Gott kann das nicht! ist für diejenigen geschrieben, die sinnvolle Antworten auf Tragödien, Missbrauch und anderes Übel suchen!
