Whether you are a student, a spiritual seeker, or simply curious, Dr. Bruce Epperly offers three distinct entry points into this life-changing worldview.

1. The Essential Introduction

Process Theology: Embracing Adventure with God For the Student and the Seeker

Designed as a “Topical Line Drive,” this book is written to be direct, clear, and efficient—like a baseball hit low and fast. It is widely used in college and university theology courses because it untangles difficult concepts without losing depth.

  • The Focus: Epperly creates a “creative dialogue” between science and religion, exploring a God who changes, relates, and grows with us.
  • Key Insight: God is not a static ruler but a partner in creation. “God is present at the moment of our conception, guides us through the adventures of this lifetime… and upon our final earthly breath receives us with open arms”.
  • Why read it: To build a solid intellectual foundation for a theology that embraces adventure.

2. The Imaginative Journey

Piglet’s Process: Process Theology for All God’s Children For the Anxious and the Playful

Theology is serious business—so serious that it can’t be left solely to adults! Through the lens of the “100 Aker Wood,” Epperly explores deep spiritual truths through conversations with a Very Small Animal.

  • The Focus: Using the beloved characters of Winnie the Pooh, this book addresses how we handle fear, anxiety, and friendship.
  • Key Insight: Introduces “Fat Soul Spirituality”—the idea that we grow in spirit by widening our world to include others. It teaches that even a “Small and Anxious Animal” can be part of a holy adventure.
  • Why read it: To understand that we are all connected in an interdependent universe, or as Epperly puts it, “Ubuntu: I am because of you”.
