This series relates past thought from the history of Western theological traditions to areas of contemporary concern in fresh, innovative, and constructive ways. Designed for those with no formal theological training, these student-friendly volumes guide readers through core theological issues in a systematic and accessible way.
This latest volume in the "Edinburgh Studies in Constructive Theology" series surveys the theological history of the Christian doctrine of creation and explores its implications for our modern scientific age. Gunton looks at the origins of the doctrine of creation in the Bible, examines the historical development of the doctrine, and discusses such related theological themes as providence, eschatology, and the ethics of creation.
