A Review Article: A Biblical Creation Faith and Jesus as Embodiment of the Creator Spirit

submitted by loleb 2 years and 1 month ago


Christianity and Creation and Jesus of Nazareth are companion volumes that give voice to a veteran scholar’s summing up a lifetime of research and reflection on what he sees as two inseparably related and fundamental issues of Christian theology and biblical witness: a focus on creation and re-creation running through the Bible as a golden thread from Genesis to Revelation, and a story about Jesus as Israelite prophet, voice of the Creator Spirit, and fullest articulator and exemplar of "creation faith."
