Synopsis
This book presents Hartshorne s philosophical theology briefly, simply, and vividly.
Throughout the centuries some of the world s most brilliant philosophers and theologians have held and perpetuated six beliefs that give the word God a meaning untrue to its import in sacred writings or in active religious devotion:
God is absolutely perfect and therefore unchangeable
2.omnipotenc
3.omniscienc
4.God s unsympathetic goodness,
5.immortality as a career after death, and
6.revelationble
Charles Hartshorne deals with these six theological mistakes from the standpoint of his process theology.
Hartshorne says, The book is unacademic in so far as I am capable of being that. Only a master like Hartshorne could present such sophisticated ideas so simply. This book offers an option for religious belief not heretofore available to lay people."
