Bradford L. McCall holds a PhD from Claremont School of Theology, Claremont, CA. He is the author of 5 books and many peer-reviewed journal articles
I really wish I could give a more positive review for this book. I’m really interested in the subject matter, and I did learn a lot, but the selected readings from other works contained so many unexplained references and terminology that it made for a very dry and sometimes exasperating read.
This new edited collection is without a doubt the most comprehensive and in-depth look into the fascinating work and mind of its author's endeavor to situate primal and important questions about religion and science, evolution, the human mind, ecology, and their theological treatments in search for responding and responsible visions of panentheism in the current context of the pressing issues of and for the future of humanity.
Bringing together a 'highlight reel' of Philip Clayton's writing is a daunting task! But Bradford L. McCall does it well in this Reader. In addition to forty of Clayton's sophisticated writings on theology, philosophy, and science, we get a testimonial of his personal journey of faith and questioning.
I am a theist, a Christian, and a practicing Catholic. My faith is deeply informed by both evolution and philosophy. Although science and philosophy are influences, they do not replace my deep Christian faith and experience. So then, “process” is a component of my understanding of God “in an evolutionary world.” But it is not a metaphysical dogma, for it is not my goal to be a Whiteheadian (or a Peircean for that matter). These thinkers assist me; they do not provide a fundamental orientation for me. I am closer to process than to (say) Thomism, but this does not make me a Whiteheadian, as per se. I think that is where I differ from David Ray Griffin, Thomas Jay Oord, Roland Faber, and perhaps even Philip Clayton. I have been fortunate in that I have one B.S. in Biology, four Master’s degrees in Religion and Philosophy, and one PhD in Process Philosophy. My possibly penultimate training was received from Claremont School of Theology in May of 2022 (PhD). I have five books to my credit, four as author, and one as editor, all published with Wipf & Stock or one of their imprints. I have another 5 books under contract with the same company as well. Very fortunate indeed.
This brief title will pursue a triangulation of chance, divine involvement, and theology through a fundamentally Peircean lens—at least epistemologically and semiotically.
What are the things that God values in the creative process? How does one define God’s activity in such a world? How is God’s involvement different from a contingent.

Should we attempt to understand (macro-)evolutionary biology, in the twenty-first century, as secular or sacred? This book will attempt to answer this question by exploring the secular evolutionary worldview.
