The Mystery Of Creation

In this volume, Watchman Nee, the noted Chinese pastor/writer, presents to us a biblical interpretation of creation, not arguing for the scientific accuracy of the Genesis account, but stipulating that God is greater than science.

In practically the only recent book in English to give a global picture of the theology of creation, Paul Haffner explores God's masterpiece, the spiritual and material cosmos, from the angels to man and woman centred in Christ. Paul Haffner provides an authoritative, detailed and systematic introduction to this fundamental subject in Christian theology. This is the first volume in a series that has now seen publication of The Sacramental Mystery, the Mystery of Reason and the Mystery of Mary. All these titles have become essential texts in Catholic seminary teaching, and the series is now being published in Italian translation by Vatican Press. Paul Haffner lectures in systematic and dogmatic theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University, the Pontifical Lateran University and the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome.

One night, I asked God how long my generation will waiver between two opinions. Immediately, the “Rhema,” the revelation of God, came to me. God showed me the truth to unlock the hidden mystery of creation according to Genesis chapter 1. The world is full of delusions and deceptions; therefore, you will eliminate the problems by finding the solution in advance before you fall prey and face consequences. This is possible only when you know the truth that will set you free. Come with me on a journey as I endeavor to reconcile the conflict raging between the creationists and the scientist community (evolutionist). The question of our time is who is right and who is wrong? I hope my new discovery will bridge both groups for the betterment of the human race and the world.

Man always wonders about himself as well as the things that surround him. He has tried for centuries to unlock the mystery of creation by observation and speculation. Yet the true story of creation would never have been told had not God revealed it to Moses. The challenge of God to human inquiry and research is the same today as it was in the days of Job: “Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it? Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” (Job. 38.2-7) In this volume, Watchman Nee presents to us a Biblical interpretation of creation to which science attests. This is not meant to prove, however, that the story of creation as revealed in the Bible is scientifically true but to show instead that God is greater than science. Whereas God’s word is forever true, the discipline of science must constantly be revised. How inexhaustible is God’s revelation, that in giving the history of creation (as found in the letter of His word) He has also disclosed His principles of working in the New as in the Old Creation. Hence an analogy of creation and Christian experience, an analysis of creation and the acts of Christ, and an anatomy of creation and dispensation are additionally presented in order to lead us into the spirit of God’s word. May we bow in wonder at “the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!” (Rom. 11.33).

Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation is a textbook on origins that provides alternative explanations-- based on biblical premises--to counteract secular evolutionary theories.
