Religion and Creation / Edition 1

by Keith Ward

Overview

This is the second book in a trilogy tracing major concepts in the four scriptural faiths of the world: Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity. Following the first book on Revelation, this new book focuses on the question of Creation. Ward explores what modern thinkers across the world and across faiths have had to say on the topic. In addition, he considers the insights of modern physics, and shows how the universe can be seen as the expression of the mind and heart of God.

Editorial Reviews

"One of the great strengths of the book is Ward's comprehensively informed conversation with natural science over how its cosmology relates to theistic claims that God is the creator....A second major contribution of the book is Ward's continuing dialogue from a Christian perspective with other scriptural religious traditions...around the issue of God."—Choice

"This is a carefully argued and persuasive work informed by contemporary science. Highly recommended for universities and seminaries."—Religious Studies Review
