Synopsis "I Believe in god the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth: Studies in the Theology of Creation Volume 1"
I Believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth is the first in a new series of collected essays on the theology of creation published by the St. Basil Basil Institute for the Study of the Theology of Creation. The essays cover from a wide variety of topics, from original sin to bioethics to spirituality and much more. "A much-needed and erudite volume illuminating the frequently neglected doctrine of creation from a catechetical and theological perspective. Anchored in the theology of creation, the authors profoundly explore the interplay between nature and the divine, the doctrine of original sin, the role of animals in creation, and creation theology's influence on Catholic Social Teaching, with nuanced discussions on bioethics. What does dominion over nature signify? This seminal inaugural volume by St. Basil Institute Press is a most welcome contribution."- Jan Bentz, DPhil, Lecturer at Blackfriars, Oxford "This first volume of Studies in the Theology of Creation thoughtfully engages certain aspects of the Church's doctrine of God's creative work and its theological corollaries touching on the permanent value of creation, the cosmic detriment of sin and evil, the implications for the virtuous use of created things in relationship to persons, and the way in which Wisdom has indelibly marked all of created being leading us to contemplate the face of the Creator through His artistry. It is an important contribution in light of Pope Francis' prophetic call in Laudato si' to revive an authentic theology of creation."- Fr. Daniel Dozier, Executive Director of God With Us Institute and author of 20 Answers on Eastern Catholicism from Catholic Answers "Studies in the Theology of Creation Volume 1 is a masterful exploration of the theological underpinnings of creation. This first volume delves into the purpose and structure of creativity, the vocational calling to work as depicted in Genesis, and the profound relationship between faith and bioethics. The authors expertly bridge the gap between theological principles and practical implications, offering readers rich insights that illuminate the fundamental truths of creation and the human vocation. This volume is a testament to scholarly excellence and is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the theology of creation. I cannot recommend it enough."- William Albrecht, author of A Complete History of the Biblical Canon in the Christian East and West "Volume 1 of the new series Studies in the Theology of Creation offers ten insightful essays on the intersection of creation with theology, Catholic social teaching, and our contemplation of God. This book and the exciting new work of the St. Basil Institute for the Study of the Theology of Creation are a valuable contribution to the much needed revitalization of the theology of creation."- Jennifer S. Bryson, PhD, Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center
