In the last three decades, the focus of attention in systematic theology has moved from the church to Christ, and more recently to God and the God-world relationship. Central to the new focus is the search for an appropriate metaphysics is to explain how God can be genuinely reponsive to events in this world and at the same time utterly transcendent. Here process-oriented thinkers provide a new view of an ancient doctrine.
Straight up, I wanted Trinity in Process: A Relational Theology of God to stick the landing and it just kind of tripped on the doormat. Joseph A. Bracken builds a gorgeous, spooky boarding school world, with the scene in the empty dormitory where all the beds are made but nobody's there, and then the answer turns out to be one of the most overused twists in the genre. Still worth reading for the atmosphere alone. For fans of eerie, moody mysteries. Skip it if a limp ending sours the whole thing for you.
