Index - Process Essays by R.E. Slater




INDEX TO PROCESS ESSAYS

by R.E. Slater

Listed here are a few samplings of my process articles I've written over the past two years. Many more are unlisted and may be discovered using the "search this blog" box provided here on this site in combination with topics of interest. I have also found using "google search" outside of the relevancy22 website to be quite helpful in locating pertinent articles (ps... make sure to prefix all google searches with either Relevancy22 or R.E. Slater + your topic of interest).
Also be aware that I am working across a wide range of biblical and natural theologies and will skip around a lot between subjects as I pursue topics. As I have time I will try to remember to update the provided indexes I've created to help readers sort through the many articles herein. Which indexes actually require the work of a more thoroughgoing archivist than I can provide myself.
I should also mention that my work is dedicated to developing a new process-based philosophical-theology... which is also why this site doesn't feel as "Christiany" as other bible site offerings working through chapters, verses and subjects of the bible. My "holy bible" is very creation itself, and the loving God of that bestowed creation. Hence, I must work both within-and-without the narrations of the ancient socio-religious cultures depicted within the library of the bible's earthy civilizations by updating terms,  concepts, language, and more broadly, imagination.
And though I have the training to exegete and exposit the bible I have been teaching myself a newer form of language that might extend biblical theology beyond itself and the parishioners of the church who commonly read it. That is, out into society-at-large whose personages and/or institutions may lack the resources many church-based educations have afforded their congregants. More simply, I am trying very hard to speak of the Christian God in "non-churchy" ways.
You will also discover that I critique the church as much as the world-at-large by teaching and provoking both bodies towards more acceptable godly responses to the atoning acts of Christ and his redemptive mission to share God's salvific love into our communities.
And so, it is with apologies, and in a spirit of hope for the younger generations to come afflicted with the Spirit of Christ, even as I have been, that my prayers for grace and peace are laid upon all those who are working out their faith and religion in ways which may be the more helpful to themselves and their socio-religious cultures that each may learn to live in a manner of grace and peace with one another.

Transcendence is meaningless to us, and creation, practically: "Wherever God is not I cannot be either. But where God is, there I may dwell with the Lover of my soul." However, Process Theology leans into immanence without apology while acknowledging transcendence as a philosophical reality (not simply as a philosophical probability). Whether physically measured in multiverses or by whatever else is out there physically, metaphysically, or ontologically, God is unmeasurable or, immeasurable, captured by our metaphorical terms and descriptions lying beyond our own imagined scopes of "reality". But for a process theist, our Creator God is all about immanence, presence, divine beingness lying next to created beingness. This is how I would begin a discussion of processual / relational panentheism. - R.E. Slater
