Explore a thoughtful view of creation that blends scripture with philosophy, and see how a sacred hymn becomes a window into the world’s origin and meaning.
This edition presents a crucial argument for reading the Genesis account as symbolic, not literal chronology. It argues that the opening creation poem is a timeless, universal vision, conveying divine realities through symbolic human imagery. Readers will encounter discussions of how God’s action transcends finite experience, and how time, matter, and life are framed by a larger spiritual perspective. The text also contrasts the divine nature with human limitations, offering a framework for understanding history, race, and the rise of civilizations through a theological lens.
- Grasp how creation is portrayed as a symbolic hymn rather than a step-by-step timeline.
- Learn why the author treats time, symbolism, and divine action as distinct from human understanding.
- See how scriptural imagery is used to discuss God’s relationship to the world and humankind.
- Consider early chapters on human origin, providence, and the unity of creation within a religious worldview.
Ideal for readers of philosophy of religion, biblical interpretation, and historical theology seeking a rigorous, faith‑based critique of modern thought.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the concept of God within the framework of Theistic thought, which posits an unconditioned will or self-directive power as the foundational principle of all reality. The author contends that this fundamental idea can accommodate the various attributes and perfections ascribed to God in Christian doctrine, bringing about a synthesis of philosophical reasoning and religious belief. This comprehensive study explores the historical and philosophical context of Theism, examining arguments for and against the existence of God and delving into complex themes such as creation, providence, and the moral government of the universe. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling and thought-provoking examination of the nature and significance of God's existence, shedding light on the profound questions that have captivated human inquiry for centuries.
