What is Relational Theology?

There seems to be some confusion as to what Relational Theology is all about.  This particularly true since Process theologians now want to use the name Relational.  Process Theology is still Process Theology.

Relational Theology is unique and distinct because it is not based on traditional Greek philosophical concepts or ideas, but on ideas based on the Bible and common experience.  This is important because traditional Greek philosophical concepts have become outmoded, which has caused great confusion in modern thought.

The problem with Relational Theology is that it does not lend itself to sound bites, because it requires a rethinking of how we think and what is truly real.  All thinking, all theology, all science is relational, because thinking is the discovering of relationships.  Relational Theology is unique because it is clear that we are relational creatures living in a relational universe created by a relational God.

I invite you become a part of the Relational revolution by buying and reading one or both of my books, The God Who RELATES, and The Complex ONE and The Simple ONE.

Yours,
