This is the first book ever written with the title A Systematic Theology of Love. That this book is the first should puzzle those who consider love central, if not primary, to God. And yet systematic theologians typically orient their theologies around other concerns, such as divine sovereignty, freedom, scripture, trinity, or mystery,Thomas Jay Oord not only puts love first, but he also offers an experience-informed and rationally-coherent theology. He argues that the universal Spirit always loves creation in uncontrolling and others-empowering ways.

Most theologies suck. They’re too technical or present a God nobody understands. Sometimes, the God they portray sounds like a controlling boyfriend or an absentee parent. Rather than woo or persuade, many theology books clobber people into submission. This book is different.

Bad views of God and harmful experiences lead many of us to deconstruct. But were right to run from the nonsense we've been taught and from those who hurt us. God After Deconstruction is not a book for people who want the status quo or who think conventional theology works. It isn't for people who just want to tweak a bit what they've been taught. Thomas Jay Oord and Tripp Fuller offer an open and relational vision of God.

Hurting people ask heart-felt questions about God and suffering. The usual answers fail. They don't support the truth God loves everyone all the time. God Can't gives a believable answer to why a good and powerful doesn't prevent evil.

Rarely does a new theological position emerge to account well for life in the world, including not only goodness and beauty but also tragedy and randomness. The Uncontrolling Love of God provides a clear and powerful answer to the problem of evil, the problem of chance, and how God acts providentially in the world.
