Process theology offers a powerful lens for "sandblasting" Greek philosophical overlays from Jewish and Christian scriptures, revealing a more dynamic divine-human relationship than classical theism allows. Through comparative theological analysis of Jewish sources and Whiteheadian thought, this response to Rabbi Artson's development of Jewish Process Theology examines how process frameworks can illuminate both traditions. The methodology combines textual analysis of biblical and rabbinic sources with process theological perspectives to critique three entrenched doctrinal masks: creatio ex nihilo, divine omnipotence and omniscience, and God's eternal changelessness. Midrashic interpretation merged with process philosophy reveals scriptural portrayals of a relational, responsive deity who experiences emotions and depends upon creaturely cooperation. Process theology's counter-metaphysics effectively dismantles essentialist assumptions while preserving divine perfection - redefined as faithfulness rather than immutability. The analysis demonstrates process thought's capacity to illuminate traditional religious texts while maintaining their spiritual integrity, with particular implications for feminist theological interpretations and broader Jewish-Christian theological discourse.
