Extract

This chapter addresses the unique Christian doctrine of creation out of nothing (creatio ex nihilo), elaborating the basics of a creation theology. Negatively, it indicates positions ruled out (i.e., gnostic dualism, pantheist monism, naturalism); and positively, it emphasizes what is suggested about the God-world relationship in constructive relation to other Christian doctrines, scientific questions pertaining to evolution, and the ecological crisis.
