Author Meets Readers: Tom Oord's The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence

In The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence, Thomas Jay Oord argues that God's power is uncontrolling love. He claims that common understandings of omnipotence fail to fit Christian scriptures and die a death of a thousand qualifications when explored philosophically. Further, Oord believes that classic views of divine omnipotence make the problem of evil insoluble. Is Oord right, or does he exaggerate the case against omnipotence? Are there better ways to think about God's power? Featuring panelists who weigh in on issues of divine power, this roundtable session will also offer extended time for comments from the audience.
