| Summary: | Theology today is challenged to engage with three great interrelated movements, the struggle for justice for the poor of the Earth, the feminist movement and the ecological movement. In this article the author deals with the question, “How do we think about God in the light of biological evolution?” in terms of a theology of God as a God of mutual relations. It is argued that the fundamental nature of reality is inter-relational, that the God of evolution is a God of mutual friendship, and that God is self-limited in love, making space within for creation. |
