Abstract: Is it reasonable to believe in a God who is, in all respects, infinite? Thomas Jay Oord doesn't think so. But Oord thinks it's reasonable to believe in a loving God whose power is finite. If the Creator is not omnipotent, we make better sense of God's initial creating and the genuine evil we witness. In this lecture, Oord argues for the existence of a loving Creator who can neither prevent evil singlehandedly nor create something from nothing (creatio ex nihilo). This deity is neither omnipotent nor impotent. God is amipotent.
