'''Gregory A. Boyd''' (born June 2, 1957) is an American theologian, Anabaptist pastor, and author.

After earning a bachelor's degree in philosophy from the University of Minnesota, he attended Yale Divinity School, graduating ''cum laude'' with a Master of Divinity degree in 1982. He then attended Princeton Theological Seminary, earning a PhD in 1987, graduating ''magna cum laude''. While at Princeton he was a classmate of Bart Ehrman and a student of Bruce Metzger.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://firstbreath90.tumblr.com/post/13147785856/greg-boyd-q-a-how-do-you-respond-to-bart-ehrmans|title=Greg Boyd Q & A<!--tentative title as link is dead-->|access-date=April 3, 2012 }}{{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> Boyd was then Professor of Theology at Bethel University for sixteen years.

==Thought== thumb|right|Greg Boyd Boyd's Princeton dissertation (published as ''Trinity and Process'') was a critique of the process theology of Charles Hartshorne. Here, he attempts to construct a philosophical theology that retains the positive features of a process worldview, while avoiding its unorthodox implications.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.equip.org/articles/dr-gregory-a-boyd-letter- |title=Dr. Gregory A.

Boyd is also known as one of the leading supporters of open theism, which he explores in the book ''God of the Possible'' (2000). In essence, open theism is the view that the future is partly open, and therefore known to God partly as a realm of possibilities. Proponents of the conservative or traditional view of God within the Baptist General Conference, such as John Piper, tried unsuccessfully to have the rules of the denomination changed to exclude Boyd and other open theists.<ref name="galaxie1">{{cite web|author=Username * |url=http://www.galaxie.com/article/12860 |title=Was Jesus an Open Theist?

He is widely known for his 1994 book, ''Letters from a Skeptic'', a collection of letters written by Boyd and his father Edward, who was an atheist at the time. Through the course of their correspondence, Boyd addressed many of the perennial intellectual challenges to the Christian faith, which led to his father's conversion.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.closertotruth.com/participant/Greg-Boyd/14 |title=Greg Boyd &#124; Participants &#124; Profile |publisher=Closer to Truth |access-date=July 14, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120418051653/http://closertotruth.com/participant/Greg-Boyd/14 |archive-date=April 18, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title = Letters From a Skeptic: A Son Wrestles with His Father's Questions about Christianity (0612608762442): Gregory A.

Boyd was featured in a front-page ''New York Times'' profile in July 2006 after losing 20% of his congregation, which Boyd attributed to his refusal to lend his public support to conservative political causes and his claim that American evangelical Christianity was too politicized.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/us/30pastor.html?ex=1154491200&en=34ccb5db8fcf8eca&ei=5087%0A "Disowning Conservative Politics"] The New York Times, July 30, 2006</ref> In his view, the Kingdom of God always looks like Jesus, whom Boyd describes as not seeking to maintain control or power over others, but instead self-sacrificially serving and loving them.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ApnyF8JyeA |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/_ApnyF8JyeA |archive-date=2021-12-19 |url-status=live|title=Greg Boyd: Power under and power over |publisher=YouTube |date=December 15, 2008 |access-date=July 14, 2012}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So093nA-L5Y |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/So093nA-L5Y |archive-date=2021-12-19 |url-status=live|title=Greg Boyd: "Power" According to the New Testament |publisher=YouTube |date=May 2, 2010 |access-date=July 14, 2012}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Therefore, according to Boyd, the gospel cannot be associated with any particular political or nationalistic ideology. The congregational loss came after his 2004 sermon series called "The Cross and the Sword." As a result of the sermon series he authored the book ''The Myth of a Christian Nation: How the Quest for Political Power Is Destroying the Church'' (2006), in which he argues that a commitment to non-violence and to loving one's enemies lies at the heart of the teachings of Jesus. Boyd further discussed these views in the CNN documentary ''God's Warriors'', which aired in August 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0708/23/cp.01.html |access-date=October 7, 2010 |title=God's Christian Warriors | work=CNN}}</ref> In a more recent book, ''The Myth of a Christian Religion: Losing Your Religion for the Beauty of a Revolution'' (2009), he presents his understanding of what the Kingdom of God is.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaPDiMGadxg |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/GaPDiMGadxg |archive-date=2021-12-19 |url-status=live|title=Greg Boyd Tackles The Myth of the Christian Religion |publisher=YouTube |date=September 30, 2010 |access-date=July 14, 2012}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In 2012 Woodland Hills Church began exploring Anabaptism and the possibility of affiliating with Mennonite Church USA and the Brethren in Christ. Boyd stated that "we've really been kind of growing in this direction since the church started, without knowing what Anabaptism was."<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.mennoworld.org/2013/2/4/seeking-tribe-megachurch-weighs-its-anabaptist-opt/ |title= Seeking a tribe, megachurch weighs its Anabaptist options |last1= Yoder |first1= Kelli |work= 4 February 2013 |publisher= Mennonite World Review |access-date= February 4, 2013 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130216192109/http://www.mennoworld.org/2013/2/4/seeking-tribe-megachurch-weighs-its-anabaptist-opt/ |archive-date= February 16, 2013 |df= mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://global.christianpost.com/news/greg-boyds-minn-megachurch-contemplates-mennonite-affiliation-90026/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130628212429/http://global.christianpost.com/news/greg-boyds-minn-megachurch-contemplates-mennonite-affiliation-90026/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 28, 2013 |title=Greg Boyd's Minn.

===God at War=== Boyd has argued that if we assume that the Christian God is not absolutely all-powerful, it becomes logical that he is all-good. In his book ''God at War'', he elaborates on this God. Boyd contends that God is at war and sometimes fails, which explains outcomes that are calamitous for humans.

Boyd is known for his academic work on the topics of Satan, the problem of evil, spiritual warfare, and the demonic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/thepangeablog/2009/08/01/recommended-resources-spiritual-warfare-series-by-greg-boyd/ |title=Recommended Resources: "Spiritual Warfare" Series by Greg Boyd |date=August 1, 2009 |access-date=July 14, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/rogereolson/2011/03/walter-wink-and-greg-boyd-on-the-problem-of-evil/ |title=Walter Wink and Greg Boyd on the Problem of Evil |publisher=Patheos.com |date=March 22, 2011 |access-date=July 14, 2012}}</ref> He is authoring a series of books, titled ''Satan and Evil'' (produced by InterVarsity Press), two volumes of which have already been published: ''God at War: The Bible and Spiritual Conflict'' (1997) and ''Satan and the Problem of Evil: Constructing a Trinitarian Warfare Theodicy'' (2001).
