God as Poet of the World: Exploring Process Theologies by Roland Faber
376 pages, Westminster John Knox Press (October 2008)

Process theology has been a major theological innovation of the last hundred years, and its influence on American theology is pervasive. But proces thought is far from being simply an American phenomenon. Throughout the last few decades, some of the most exciting work in process theology has been undertaken in Asia and Europe. Process theology is thus now a truly international movement, with exciting potential for contributing to theological inquiry today. In this book, world-recognized expert in process thought Roland Faber presents a systematic exploration of process theology's roots and development, its chief concerns and concepts, and its opportunities for new contributions to today's theological scene, especially in topics such as cosmology, politics, and theopoetics. This book is a superb resource for those who want to know more about this important movement.

Whitehead Word Book: A Glossary with Alphabetical Index to Technical Terms in Process and Reality by John B. Cobb, Jr.

"What every reader of Whitehead has longed for, and students of Process and Reality have begged for: a glossary of all the most important process terms, written by the one of the greatest living authorities on Whitehead’s thought. The definitions are simple enough for the first-time student, yet precise enough to satisfy even the most demanding scholars. The prose is lucid and insightful; it brings the original terms to life. Indeed, reading this text through from front to back now offers one of the quickest and most accurate introductions to Whitehead’s thought available anywhere." - Philip Clayton
