The Christian Doctrine of Creation and Redemption: Dogmatics, Vol. II by Brunner, Emil Format: Hardcover with Dust JacketPublished by Westminster Press, 1952 This book delves into the Christian doctrine of creation and redemption through an exploration of the historical realization of God?s self-communication. While many non-Christian religions and philosophical teachings speak of a creator figure, only the Christian faith posits a creator who is the Lord of the universe and has revealed himself to us through his word. In the Christian doctrine, God brings the world into existence through the power of his word, and his creation is shaped by his purpose and ultimate goal for it. The author explores the profound significance of the idea that God is the one who determines all things and is determined by none, examining the biblical concept of creatio ex nihilo and emphasizing God?s complete and sole responsibility for the existence of the world. The book also considers the relationship between creation and revelation, arguing that the same Word that created the world also reveals to us the truth that it has been created. This concept of a personal and purposeful creation leads to a very particular view of the world and the place of humanity within it, something which the author discusses in depth. Overall, the book grapples with deep questions about the nature of God, the origin of the world, and the purpose of human existence, offering insights that will resonate with those interested in the profound intersections of philosophy and theology.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
