Distinguishing Process Theology and Open Theism
Byhenry October 13, 2015
I have been asked whether I accept open theism or process theology. The fact is that I accept extreme uncertainty about the way God relates to space and time, but that I think the process theologians come closer to the way the Bible story seems to read while traditional theism seems to come closer to…

Evolution and Continuous Upward Progress
Byhenry March 12, 2011

The Mosaic Bible and the Lectionary – Update
Byhenry December 2, 2009
As I mentioned in an earlier post I’ve been trying to test the value of Holy Bible: Mosaic NLT (Meditations) for a lectionary preacher or teacher.
