Description
This series is designed to provide a study of the historical development and content of the Christian doctrine of creation. Emphasis is on the fact that the doctrine is a part of Christian confession rather than a piece of science of philosophy, though inevitably relations between the two disciplines are never far apart. The heart of the treatment is to understand creation as an act of the triune God, realized through Christ and the Holy Spirit, which provides the basis for God's covenant love and so sets the scene for an ethic of praise to God the Creator.
Colin Gunton is former Professor of Christian Doctrine, King's College, University of London. His writing has been devoted to the central themes of Christian theology: Christology, the doctrine of God, and the atonement. He is author of The One, the Three, and the Many and The Promise of Trinitarian Theology, as well as editor of The Doctrine of Creation.
