In the philosophy of religion, Dombrowski is known for his defense of a process theism, which posits a God who is not omnipotent in the classical sense but is instead involved in the ongoing process of the universe. This view challenges traditional notions of divine immutability and omnipotence, suggesting instead a God who is dynamic and relational.
