Segment 2: The Creating God
Presenter: B. Davie Napier
The Creation story differs from ancient myth or scientific theory. Genesis’s concern is theological— who we are and why we are here. Life is a gift of God and is meaningless except in relation to God’s purpose. Creation faith includes these ideas: The one God called creation out of chaos by word alone; creation is good; human beings are God’s creatures; the most outward, obvious expression of Israel’s faith is the sabbath. The two Creation accounts taken together express Israel’s creation faith and our inherited faith.
