Does Christian process theology need revival and renewal? How can process theology be a transformational resource for mainline Christians, spiritual seekers, and evangelicals in search of a truly loving and life-affirming theology? Bruce Epperly sees ‘revival’ as the emergence of a deep and passionate spirituality that changes us and the world, grounded in reclaiming Jesus as a companion, challenger, and guide.
In this Pop-Up, Dr. Epperly will discuss why Christian process theology needs to open to creative transformation so that it can transform the spiritual landscape of our times. Believing there is good news of Jesus beyond the academy, Epperly will show how Christian process theology must join its theological vision with spiritual practices of healing and wholeness, integration of contemplation and action, and a rediscovery of an affirmative vision of Jesus.
