Description: A series of articles from a liberal Protestant point of view by Kenneth Cauthen, a retired professor of theology, philosophy, and ethics. The site posits the existence of an impersonal, "limited, suffering, struggling" deity. This deity's creativity is said to have produced all the varieties of life.
The short essays linked together on this site are written from a liberal theological perspective. More specifically, I am a modernistic liberal or a modernist, as I define those terms. The articles set forth the views of a theologian deeply influenced by modern science, historical studies, cultural relativism, ecological concerns, pragmatism, and the like. They represent what I believe to be persuasive and pertinent for a generation about to enter the 21st century. I employ a form of process-relational thought and am deeply rooted in the Christian (and Baptist) traditions. These essays are tentative expressions but reflect five decades of reading, thinking, and teaching. Long ago Harry Emerson Fosdick defined a liberal as one who wanted to be both "an intelligent modern and a serious Christian." That is my aim and the guiding philosophy of these essays. They represent an honest search for truth and set forth the best I know up to now from all sources. Beyond that I make no claims.
