Tom Oord on the Power of Un-Controlling Love and the Death of Omnipotence
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Thomas Jay Oord, scholar, theologian, and professor at Northwind Seminary, joins Michael to talk about his new book, The Death of Omnipotence and the Birth of Amipotence. They discuss whether God is all powerful or not and what is a better, more "biblical", and philosophically logical way of looking at divine power. Amipotence is the uncontrolling love of God. It's a beautiful notion that fits scripture, human experience, and logic better than the traditional view. Also, we find out how Tom had to sit through two heresy trials!

Thank you! SO helpful to have the permission to re-think and disentangle old dogma that simply doesn’t ”fit”!
