Bradley Artson's Process Theology offers a radical reimagining of God as dynamically evolving rather than eternally fixed—an approach that both resolves and creates fundamental challenges for Jewish theological thought. Through critical theological analysis of Process Theology's internal consistency and its compatibility with traditional Jewish sources, significant tensions emerge between Artson's framework and core Jewish principles. While his conceptualization successfully addresses classical contradictions around divine omniscience versus human free will and the problem of evil, it introduces troubling theological dualism through its reliance on pre-existent chaos as an independent creative force. Artson's emphasis on divine self-limitation effectively resolves certain paradoxes but raises new difficulties regarding personal salvation and ultimate redemption. The research methodology examines these tensions through close analysis of theological texts and systematic evaluation of Process Theology's applications to Jewish thought. Although Process Theology provides valuable insights into divine-world interaction and the reality of becoming in creation, its naturalistic foundations in Whitehead's philosophy fundamentally conflict with Judaism's core beliefs about personal salvation and God's transcendent power. These contributions can meaningfully enhance Jewish theology only when decoupled from their dualistic implications and reframed within traditional concepts of divine self-limitation as voluntary rather than inherent constraint.
