What a great resource. Nicely done, folks. Here’s a discussion from the bloggernacle:

Oops. Jacob and I must have overlapped. Thanks Jacob.

Whether Whitehead is as much a theologian as David Griffin, is not necessarily the point (certainly the notion and nature of God is central to “Process and Reality” so perhaps we would agree that he has “theological” interests). The issue is why some “theologians” are included on the list, but not others. Why is David Tracy required reading for LDSs doing theology but not others?

Jacob B.,

Your paper sounds fascinating, I look forward to seeing it in Element in the near future. What Christian theologians do you see as essential reading for LDSs doing theology, and why? Also, do you think that Christian theological methodology should frame the entire discussion of what LDS theological methodology is?

I doubt Whitehead would describe himself as a theologian, but in Process and Reality Chapter 5 is all about God’s place in the process metaphysic. God is an essential component of process philosophy for Whitehead, who argued that process (or as he called it, the philosophy of organism) wouldn’t work without God. Nearly all his works after Process and Reality contain a significant theological component.

Was Whitehead a theologian? I knew Hartshorne has appropriated him for theology but I didn’t realize he had theological interests.

I actually should have included Whitehead, and particularly a book called “Schleiermacher and Whitehead: Open Systems in Dialogue” that explores an open, event-based systematic theology that allows for novelty and creativity. I’m actually currently writing a paper for Element that explores this type of methodology as a way of looking at a viable system to explore a religion like Mormonism that considers new, divine revelation as essential to its theology.

I believe it is necessary to include theologians working in Christian theological method because like it or not Christian theological methodology frames the entire discussion of what LDS theological methodology is. Pratt and Roberts essentially attempted imitations of Christian systematic theology by creating Mormon systematic theologies. When LDS scholars today insist that narrative theology or the narrative method is the most appropriate way of doing theology they are responding to Christian systematic theologies and why they don’t think they are adequate for thinking Mormon theology. It becomes important to understand what the parameters are that define theological method in the first place in order to engage the theological method discussion on any level.

Clark,

On what grounds are theologians not theologizing about Mormonism included? Why include David Tracy and George Lindbeck, for instance, but not Whitehead?
