An Introduction to the Theology of Creation
creation in the general context of christian dogmatic theology
Creation theology is a part of Christian dogmatic theology that deals with the origin of the world and of man. This theme, along with that of God, is basic to the Christian notion of the value of created things and human life: 'I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.' The first article of the Creed expressly reminds all believers that Christianitythe religion of redemption par excellenceis also a religion of creation.
It therefore views the redemption of mankind by Christ in the context of a comprehensive divine activity which gives rise to every being and, over the course of time and history, leads all beings providentially and solicitously to their end, that is, to their ultimate perfection and destiny.
The creation of the world and man by God is a mystery of faith. It is not just an empirical deduction which can neatly fit the findings of scientific research into the origin of the universe. 'By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear' (Heb 11:3).
The human mind, on its own, cannot take in the fact of creation, or investigate adequately, unless it is helped to do so by faith. That does not mean that reason is unable to come to terms with the mystery of the ultimate origin of the world or that it cannot in any way grasp what that involves. It simply means that only men and women who are believers are in a position to grasp unambiguously the fact of creation in all its depth and with all that flows from it.
When Holy Scripture speaks about the creation of the world and man, and when the Church and Christians acknowledge it in the Creed, they are not simply slating a cosmological truth: they are making a confession of faith. In that confession we say that there is only one God, the sovereign cause of the world, whose impulse is love. Divine Power and Love lie at the very basis of creation. To create means to make a good thingto cause a good thing to exist. To acknowledge creation is a way of praising God.
