Synopsis
In The Thrust of Wonder, process theologian Clarence Graham White explores the connections in D. Elton Trueblood’s early writing under four process themes: Contradiction, Change, Connection, and Commitment.
Trueblood was known as one of the most important intellectual spokespersons for evangelical Christianity in the 20th century. His works on living the Christian Faith, along with the Yokefellow movement he founded and led, were a source of help to millions who sought fresh ways to incorporate their Christian faith into daily living. He even devised a self-study program for those engaged in what he called The Ministry of Common Life. These endeavors were the main emphasis of the second half of his writing career but until he retired from Earlham College, Trueblood made his living, along with being a Quaker minister, as a professor of philosophy at five colleges and universities, three of them Quaker: Guilford, Haverford, and Earlham.
