Relational theology is a term I coined years ago (I claim no originality) to express the truth that our God Who Is Love is by extension a Relational God and His Image in man is that we are relational beings. It is most evident that image is marred as human history is one of wars and rumors of wars. But John 17 speaks of the Glorious God's purpose to restore His people into that Relationship that has been One from all eternity. (John 17:20-26) The following are older posts from the Son of His Love blog that speak to this truth. They are in the deep dark recesses of the archives and I felt they should see the light of day.
