Full Description
Follow the Doxological Rhythm of Creation to Discover God's Glory
Why did God create the world "out of nothing"? What does this reveal about his majesty? How, as created beings, should humanity respond?
In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, professor Tyler R. Wittman carefully examines the doctrine of creation, explaining the relationship between God and creatures, the nature and end of creatures, and how God fulfills his creation in the worship Christ leads in his church. Wittman presents the creation account as a hymn, examining its literary structure and poetic imagery. He then explores creation as like a great "song" of its Creator. With helpful visuals and key definitions, this accessible study invites readers to delight in God's beauty and respond liturgically in worship as they await the "new song" of redemption.
