"This book builds a needed bridge between process metaphysics and contemporary analytic philosophy. Even readers who are very familiar with either tradition will find the book interesting, because the contributors uncover connections that are surprising. Shields has done a great job of collecting authors who are up to the task." — Daniel A. Dombrowski, author of Analytic Theism, Hartshorne, and the Concept of God
