	A DIALOG WITH THE PROCESS THEOLOGY OF JOHN B. COBB, JR.
		Cobb recognizes that the modern consciousness is dominated by a vision of reality expressed in scientific thought which has rejected such basic features of the Christian tradition as the reality of God and His direction of the world.
		Cobb is called a post-Enlightenment thinker because he has no desire to respond to the challenges from the vision of reality expressed in the modern consciousness by the mere reassertion of traditional orthodox positions.
		Cobb's acceptance of the historical nature of reality is so thoroughgoing that he not only denies the validity of statements about the essence of Christianity similar to those made by the 19th-century theologians, but also denies the possibility that theology can ever attain a final statement.

		Florence Cobb died in 1963 at the age of 96, but even today she is remembered in Esher for her kindness and generosity to the church.

	Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: John Cobb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Cobb believes that christocentrism "requires of the Christian the rejection of all arrogance, exclusivism, and dogmatism in relation to other ways" because it is rooted divine Sophia, Wisdom "which is the very God of very God, which is embodied in Jesus.
		Cobb expresses his doubt about this approach, criticizing it as an unproved "assumption that there is a one-to-one correspondence between what is thought of as 'ultimate reality' in our Western tradition and that with which all 'religious' traditions concern themselves" (Cobb 1987, 97).
		Cobb allows that either dipolarity or quadernity (transcendence, immanence, creativity, responsivity) are more logical frameworks for the process idea of God than that of trinity, yet he wishes to retain a point of contact with Christian tradition.

	John Cobb and the Crusader
		It was fortunate that the income which Cobb earned from some very astute fur-broking in the City was a substantial one, because the programme which was initiated at Vospers of Portsmouth in the spring of 1949 was to cost him £15,000 before the craft would even be put in the water.

		Cobb himself talks about this in an epilogue to Beyond Dialogue, his 1982 exposition of how the two religions could be understood as complementary.
		Cobb also spends time discussing the Buddhist view of time and history–my focus in examining the discussion–because it seems to contrast radically with a Christian view.
		Further, Cobb argues, the “here-now is complete and perfect in itself…time exists only for the perspective that objectifies the here-now and views the succession of moments as if from without.

		Cobb and Griffin provide two appendices -- the first, a very brief look at the relationship of philosophy and theology, and the second, a literature survey of process thought, primarily dealing with Whitehead, but also extending beyond a bit.
		Cobb and Griffin note that in classical theology, divine sympathy was denied: "This denial of an element of sympathetic responsiveness to the divine love meant that it was entirely creative; that is, God loves us only in the sense that he does good things for us" (45).
		Professors Cobb and Griffin are advocates of process theology and provide a balanced overview of both the history and ideas of process thought as well as a defense.
