Also additionally known as organistic philosophy (because it views reality as a gigantic organism) and bipolar theism (or dipolar, since it views God as having two poles), process theology teaches that God is a finite being who is constantly in the process of changing. It is also known as panentheism, meaning "all in God." Modern process theology traces its origin and influence to Alfred North Whitehead, Charles Hartshorne, and Schubert Ogden.
Process theology's idea of God is diametrical to the biblical portrayal of God, a god who is limited, dependent; it offers no hope and comfort and has no use for preachers.
