In his newest book, The Death of Supernaturalism: The Case for Process Naturalism, Chad Bahl offers a bold theological manifesto that critiques the metaphysical assumptions of supernatural theism. He demonstrates the incompatibility between the supernaturalistic worldview and the scientific worldview, and maintains that supernaturalism perpetuates rather than solves the problems of theodicy and divine hiddenness.
As a solution, Bahl argues for a process naturalist view of God—one which sees God as relational, persuasive and embedded within the natural world. Bahl is an emerging voice in the process theology community. In this Process Pop-Up, we’ll explore the core ideas in this text.
