Whiteheadian Suggestions for Process Theology
Although process theology has always been a diverse phenomenon, its historical prevalence as a movement within Protestant Christianity surely extends from Whitehead’s own concern for “the tale of the Christian religion” as beholden to “the leaders of the protestant clergy.” As evidenced in a chapter titled “The New Reformation” in Adventures of Ideas, Whitehead offered key suggestions to as to how theology might continue to evolve in light of the tangled cosmological and metaphysical vision he had developed. Far from being an “attempted Christian hijack,” Christian process theology can be seen as a thoroughly natural response to Whitehead’s suggestions.
