Description
The Christian claim that the triune God is the creator of the universe is both exegetically grounded and theologically rich. This theological interpretation of the creation account from Genesis 1 explores what it means to articulate a rigorous theology based on the first chapter of the Bible. Peter Leithart engages with classic discussions of creation, including those of influential thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, Sergius Bulgakov, Karl Barth and Robert Jenson. By doing so, he offers a nuanced understanding of God's work of creation that addresses key questions such as the age of the earth and the relationship between divine creation and evolution. Here, readers will discover a thoughtful exploration of what it means to talk about God and God's first work, grounded in the creedal affirmation of God the Father almighty, who is the creator of the heavens and earth.
