Progressive Theology

In one of my previous posts I discussed apoctastasis, and claimed that it was my personal choice for an explanation of theodicy, but have since come across what has become known as 'progressive theology.' I learned about this in my activities with the on-campus group 'Atheist-Theist Connection,' in which a reverend who also attends the meeting brought it up. Progressive theologians/Christians have an open willingness to question contemporary tradition. The main tenet of progressive theology is that there is no way to successfully explain how God can be all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful simultaneously, and instead argue that God is not, in fact, all-knowing. They use the Bible to verify this, especially the Old Testament, in which God seems to either not know about something (The Book of Job in which he seems ignorant to the happenings of Earth outside the Jews), or changes his mind (Genesis where he decides to not kill Noah and his family.

Progressive theology also takes a more "liberal" standpoint on other issues, encouraging an acceptance of human diversity, an emphasis on social justice, care for the poor and oppressed, and being environmentally green. Progressive Christians focus more on Jesus' teaching of 'Love one another,' than on any other part of the Biblical teachings.
