| Zusammenfassung: | John Milbank’s theology argues for a return to the participatory ontology of the pre-moderns in which actuality is understood as rooted in intimate relation to the divine. He rejects modernity’s notion that finite reality can be understood as occupying its own space independent of God. In this context he develops the notion of finite "making" as coincident with the finite realization of the divine. This paper develops how the notion of "coincidence" can be applied to Whitehead’s thought, allowing for an identification of God with creativity and finite "making," seeking to provide a more theologically satisfying account of God’s relation to creativity. |
