Exploring the Problems & Promises of an Islamic Process Theology

One of the most striking positions of the process theological tradition, from Whitehead up through contemporary process thinkers, is its rejection of the traditional doctrine of divine omnipotence. The context of this rejection is often theodicy — dealing with the problem of evil. Process theologians are adamant in affirming God’s Goodness (and God’s relationality), and suggest that this can be best maintained by renouncing the traditional formulations of omnipotence altogether and thus avoiding all the philosophic problems that come with the doctrine.
