John Elof Boodin

Swedish-born John Elof Boodin (1869-1950) emigrated to America in 1887 and entered Harvard ten years later. He earned his PhD under the idealist philosopher Josiah Royce and became close with the great American pragmatist William James. Under these two influences Boodin synthesized a unique metaphysic, the basis of his forward-looking process theology. Presented in Three Interpretations of the Universe and God and Creation , this book (his last) is the capstone of that Christ-centered trilogy.
