It is generally assumed that science and religion are at war. Many now claim that science has made religious belief redundant; others have turned to a literalist interpretation of biblical creation to reject or revise science; others try to resolve Darwin with Genesis. "The Nature of Creation" addresses this complex debate by engaging with both modern science and biblical scholarship together. Creation is central to Christian theology and the Bible, and has become the chosen battleground for scientists, atheists and creationists alike. "The Nature of Creation" presents a sustained historical investigation of what the creation texts of the Bible have to say and how this relates to modern scientific ideas of beginnings. The book aims to demonstrate what science and religion can share, and how they differ and ought to differ.

How does Christianity change the way we view the natural world? In this addition to a critically acclaimed series, renowned theologian Norman Wirzba engages philosophers, environmentalists, and cultural critics to show how the modern concept of nature has been deeply problematic. He explains that understanding the world as creation rather than as nature or the environment makes possible an imagination shaped by practices of responsibility and gratitude, which can help bring healing to our lands and communities. By learning to give thanks for creation as God's gift of life, Christians bear witness to the divine love that is reconciling all things to God.

This book is not an evangelical diatribe which seeks to convert anyone to Christianity and it does not advocate any religion. Instead, it's universal appeal is to all denominations and faiths, non-believers and believers, as well as agnostics. It simply asks you to take the time to smell the roses, witness the miracles of Nature, and come to your conclusions as to whether everything in Nature is a result of some big bang theory (evolution) or God's Creation, however you conceive of your God. The title mainly attempts to influence your mind and thought process to encourage you to think about your surroundings, and focus on all living things which co-exist in your environmental habitat. The incentive will be that you derive your own observations and opinions about all living things the way they are or appear to be. On the contrary, this book is not a complex, esoteric, or profound dialog but a discussion of the generalities of life. The hope is that you, the reader, will take a journey into the realm of wonder, including the visible and invisible, and assess the big picture or the forest for the trees, creating your own conception of reality. It encourages you to not wait, however, till the time has expired for free thought and your coherent ability, at that juncture, to seek answers. Instead, it attempts to motivate you to derive answers in the interim period between the dawn and dusk of your life and encourage you to engage in a conversation about God, Life, and Nature now.

with a Postcript coauthored by Michael W. Goheen In print for two decades and translated into eight languages, Albert Wolters's classic formulation of an integrated Christian worldview has been revised and expanded to reach new readers beyond the generation that has already benefited from this clear, concise proposal for transcending the false dichotomy between sacred and secular. Wolters begins by defining the nature and scope of a worldview, distinguishing it from philosophy and theology. He then outlines a Reformed analysis of the three basic categories in human history -- creation, fall, and redemption -- arguing that while the fall reaches into every corner of the world, Christians are called to participate in Christ's redemption of all creation. This Twentieth Anniversary edition features a new concluding chapter, coauthored with Michael Goheen, that helpfully places the discussion of worldview in a broader narrative and missional context.

In view of the destruction of the sources of life, ecology is no longer a marginal issue. In "Creation Set Free," Sigurd Bergmann creatively rethinks the discipline of theology in light of the ecological crisis. He is concerned throughout to see the cosmos as something involved in redemption rather a mere stage for the human salvific drama. After critically and constructively summarizing previous initiatives toward an ecological theology, Bergmann opens up an extraordinary dialogue between these initiatives and church father Gregory of Nazianzus. Through the neglected topics of sociality, motion, suffering, and the Spirit, the author brings to light Gregorybs thought on the liberation of creation. Finally, Bergmann connects ecological issues and patristic tradition with contemporary liberation theology.
