\nIt’s a book release party for Thomas Jay Oord’s new book!
\n
\n
\n
\nWe were joined by two other philosophers will join us – Donna Bowman & Donald Viney.

\nIn this ground-breaking book, best-selling and award-winning author Thomas Jay Oord explains why omnipotence should be rejected. But Oord offers a replacement: amipotence, the power of uncontrolling love.
\n
\n
\n
\nIf we think love shapes and guides God’s power, we make better sense of life. And better sense of the Bible. Amipotence explains why God doesn’t prevent genuine evil and overcomes other obstacles to belief. An amipotent Spirit empowers all that is loving, true, beautiful, and good.

\n
\nNo book makes a bolder but more needed argument for why God is not all-powerful. Those who care about love, scripture, and logic find what they’ve been looking for.

\nUpcoming Online Class: Bonhoeffer & the Future of Faith
\nWhy does a theologian like Dietrich Bonhoeffer still excite our theological imagination? What is it about his work in a different era that still engages some of the most cutting-edge theological work done today? Join us for the new Homebrewed Christianity class, \u201cBonhoeffer and the Future of Faith\u201d as we listen to and learn from internationally known scholars working in areas such as climate change, prison reform, racial tensions, pastoral care, and Christian Nationalism. These scholars, generations removed from Bonhoeffer\u2019s day, find inspiration in him for the continuing task of theology to interpret and respond to global challenges in our day. Together this class will think about Bonhoeffer\u2019s enduring question to the church of his day, \u201cWhat is Christianity for us today?\u201d How we are responding in our time to this question will determine the shape of faith for our day and beyond.
