520 |a The virtue of piety is central to religious life, with ultimate piety owed to the conditions for the very possibility of existence. Anything less than this ultimate reality cannot be a worthy referent for the name “God.” This leads to the conclusion that the fundamental theological error contained within process theology is the separation of God and creativity. Drawing on the thought of James Gustafson, Bernard Loomer, Robert Neville, and H. Richard Niebuhr, this article will articulate an alternative theological perspective called theocentric naturalism, which rejects the existence of supernatural beings yet preserves the radically monotheistic separation of Creator and creation—between the ontological creativity that creates all determinate reality and the determinate world in its creative advance. It examines the fruits of this form of religious piety, including the proper relativizing of our commitments, its orientation to the natural world, and the cultivation of religious courage.
