ABSTRACT
Although it is true to say that the field of literature and theology is growing and becoming more sophisticated and articulate, it is equally correct to say that few scholars working in the particular area of process studies have explored the potentially fruitful exchange between process thought and creative writing. Having said this, the researcher who digs beneath the surface of literary art – classic, modern and postmodern – uncovers a treasure trove of items, a fecund series of resources for thinking theologically in a relational world. Consider the English novelist David Lodge. One of Lodge's most engaging characters, Bernard Walsh, is a self-proclaimed agnostic theologian, who has a professional interest in Paradise. In addition to David Lodge, there are other writers who have used the medium of literary art to address or articulate some of the claims associated with process thinkers.
