Christianity Today Book Award ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award Apart
from the doctrine of God, no doctrine is as comprehensive as that
of creation. It is woven throughout the entire fabric of Christian
theology. It goes to the deepest roots of reality and leaves no
area of life untouched. Across the centuries, however, the doctrine
of creation has often been eclipsed or threatened by various forms
of gnosticism. Yet if Christians are to rise to current challenges
related to public theology and ethics, we must regain a robust,
biblical doctrine of creation. According to Bruce Ashford and Craig
Bartholomew, one of the best sources for outfitting this recovery
is Dutch neo-Calvinism. Abraham Kuyper, Herman Bavinck, and their
successors set forth a substantial doctrine of creation's goodness,
but recent theological advances in this tradition have been
limited. Now in The Doctrine of Creation Ashford and Bartholomew
develop the Kuyperian tradition's rich resources on creation for
systematic theology and the life of the church today. In addition
to tracing historical treatments of the doctrine, the authors
explore intertwined theological themes such as the omnipotence of
God, human vocation, and providence. They draw from diverse streams
of Christian thought while remaining rooted in the Kuyperian
tradition, with a sustained focus on doing theology in deep
engagement with Scripture. Approaching the world as God's creation
changes everything. Thus The Doctrine of Creation concludes with
implications for current issues, including those related to
philosophy, science, the self, and human dignity. This exegetically
grounded constructive theology contributes to renewed appreciation
for and application of the doctrine of creation-which is ultimately
a doctrine of profound hope.
