An examination of the concept of God as propounded by Charles Hartshorne and John Macquarrie, two mid-20th century theological thinkers, Relational Deity argues for a concept of God as "relational deity" that arises out of a detailed investigation juxtaposing Hartshorne's neoclassical (or "Process") theism and Macquarrie's existential-ontological theism. The notion that deity is itself inherently relational is of considerable significance for an age that must wrestle with theological issues in a context of pluralism and post-modernity.
It is a powerful idea with important theological and philosophical implications.
