The Deeds of God in the View of Process Theism
The Deeds of God in the View of Process Theism

Summary/Abstract: Process theology based on the philosophy of Alfred N. Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne views the world as a process of becoming composed of moments (actual entities), which occur by way of self-actualizing out of the data available for such an occasion. This presupposes a kind of subjectivity in these entities, as well as their being motivated for such self-actualization which would be a creative contribution to the fact that reality is a “world,” rather than chaos. This brings us to the hypothesis of “a God” luring the actual entities to following an aim that is optimal for both themselves and the world in its entirety. Actual entities occur at many levels of complexity. At the human level their data include values. This scheme is believed to be essentially consistent not only with the Biblical view of divine activity and its modern interpretations, but also with the traditional doctrinal layout of the content of the Biblical witness.
