Abstract

Many Christian theologians have used Whiteheadian process-relational philosophy to clarify the ontological status of doctrinal assertions.  It would seem that this strategy would not be helpful in the field of eschatology, which deals with scenarios of human and cosmic consummation.  Process-relational thought denies traditional understandings of divine sovereignty and describes an open-ended cosmic process in which no final, determinate outcome is envisioned.  However, process thought "does" describe God as guiding and encouraging a universal urge toward novelty and harmony, and exercising a species of judgment towards the world's achievements.  I argue that these features of process thought can shed light on a nonmythological rendering of Christian eschatology which describes a proximate outcome of human hopes and striving.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
