Process Theology, Religion, and Secularism
In a book to be published by Abingdon, Spiritual Bankruptcy, Dr.Cobb argues that, in face of the global crises, both religiousness and secularism do more harm than good. Only the secularizing of our great wisdom traditions can help. Modern  philosophy works against this, but  the new start in William James, noted and developed by Whitehead, can help.

Emerging Process Spirituality
This course explores the resources of process theology for 21st century spiritual formation. Process theology provides resources for transforming spiritual practices in dialogue with new spiritual movements, emerging Christianity, world religions, and postmodernism. This course asks the questions, "How do we transform spiritual practices, originated hundreds of years ago, so that they are relevant to pluralist, postmodern, and global communication culture?  How do we practice sabbath in a nano-second culture?"
