In his book, Joseph A. Bracken reconciles the sometimes conflicting views of traditional Christian doctrines and the modern scientific world. He introduces Alfred North Whitehead's "model" of the God-world relationship (that God is involved in an ongoing, ever-changing relationship with the humans and other creatures). He also discusses the work of other contemporary theologians to help Christians reconcile their role in our multi-dimensional pluralistic society. Bracken's new book is written in an accessible manner so as to present Whitehead's process-relational metaphysics to a wider, less professional audience. He shows how modern views of the world and God can be accepted and kept in balance with the traditional biblical views found in the Christian faith and how this balance can help Christians make better choices in a world shaped both by contemporary natural science and by traditional Christian spirituality.
