ABSTRACT

Process theology is a movement based primarily on the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947), whose major work was Process and Reality (1929), and secondarily on that of Charles Hartshorne (1897-). Whereas the term “process theology” can refer to their philosophies in that they are philosophical (or natural) theologies, it also refers more narrowly to the work of a number of theologians, thus far primarily Christian, who have employed these philosophies to interpret the doctrines of their religious traditions.
