Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The virtue of piety is central to religious life, with ultimate piety owed to the conditions for the very possibility of existence. Anything less than this ultimate reality cannot be a worthy referent for the name “God.” This leads to the conclusion that the fundamental theological error contained within process theology is the separation of God and creativity. Drawing on the thought of James Gustafson, Bernard Loomer, Robert Neville, and H. Richard Niebuhr, this article will articulate an alternative theological perspective called theocentric naturalism, which rejects the existence of supernatural beings yet preserves the radically monotheistic separation of Creator and creation—between the ontological creativity that creates all determinate reality and the determinate world in its creative advance. It examines the fruits of this form of religious piety, including the proper relativizing of our commitments, its orientation to the natural world, and the cultivation of religious courage.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
