Editing Process theology (section)

== History ==
Various theological and philosophical aspects have been expanded and developed by [[Charles Hartshorne]] (1897–2000), [[John B. Cobb]], Eugene H. Peters, and [[David Ray Griffin]].<ref name="John W. Cooper 2006">John W. Cooper, ''Panentheism: The Other God of the Philosophers'' (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2006), 342.</ref> A characteristic of process theology each of these thinkers shared was a rejection of [[metaphysics]] that privilege "[[being]]" over "[[becoming (philosophy)|becoming]]", particularly those of [[Aristotle]] and [[Thomas Aquinas]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |author=Seibt, Johanna |title=Process Philosophy |url=http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/process-philosophy/ |encyclopedia=Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy |date=October 26, 2017 |access-date=March 15, 2018}}</ref> Hartshorne was deeply influenced by French philosopher [[Jules Lequier]] and by Swiss philosopher [[Charles Secrétan]] who were probably the first ones to claim that in God liberty of becoming is above his substantiality.

Process theology soon influenced a number of [[Judaism|Jewish]] theologians including [[Rabbi]]s [[Max Kadushin]], [[Milton Steinberg]], [[Levi Olan|Levi A. Olan]], Harry Slominsky, and, to a lesser degree, [[Abraham Joshua Heschel]]. Contemporary Jewish theologians who advocate some form of process theology include [[Bradley Shavit Artson]],<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Artson |first=Bradley Shavit |date=2010 |title=Ba-derekh: On the Way—A Presentation of Process Theology |url=http://muse.jhu.edu/content/crossref/journals/conservative_judaism/v062/62.1-2.artson.html |journal=Conservative Judaism |language=en |volume=62 |issue=1–2 |pages=3–35 |doi=10.1353/coj.2010.0040 |issn=1947-4717|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Lawrence A.
