Pederson, Ann.  God, Creation, and All That Jazz.  St. Louis: Chalice Press, 2001.

Abstract:

Using elements of American jazz as her metaphor and process theology as her focus, Pederson orchestrates a unique understanding of God's role in creation. The creative order, she says, is not a fixed and immutable event from the past, but a series of divine improvisations that compose the cosmic composition even as it is played out.
