Description
A stimulating exploration of the doctrine of creation, From Nothing A Theology of Creation examines the essential truth that humanity is completely dependent on God. This radical dependence is a consequence of the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo, or creation from nothing. Drawing on biblical text, classical sources, and contemporary thought, Ian A. McFarland provides a detailed and innovative constructive theology of creation. He argues that a robust theology of creation is a necessary correlate to the Christian confession of redemption in Jesus Christ. This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between faith and science, and its implications for our understanding of human existence.
