"John B. Cobb, Jr., is an American theologian, philosopher, and environmentalist. Described by historian Gary Dorrien as one of the two most important North American theologians of the twentieth century, Cobb is the preeminent scholar in the field of process philosophy and process theology, and the author of more than fifty books. In 2014, Cobb was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In these remarkably intimate and forthcoming 'reminiscences, ' Cobb reflects on major theological developments of the last sixty years, from the Latin American, feminist, and black liberation theologies, to Vatican II, the 'death of God, ' and the shift from existentialist to process philosophies. A major conviction of Cobb's work--amply displayed in these reflections --is that theology must engage contemporary issues. To that end, he followed a transdisciplinary approach throughout his career, integrating insights from many different areas of study and bringing different specialized disciplines into fruitful communication. As a result, Cobb has been influential in a wide range of disciplines, including theology, ecology, economics, biology and social ethics. His descriptions of these encounters are rich in personal detail and refreshingly honest."--Publisher's description.
