THE
FUNDAMENTAL
IMPORTANCE
OF
THE
IDEA
OF

FOR
FAITHFUL
LIVING
AND
THINKING.
GOD

FROM
NOTHING;
IAN
MCFARLAND
CONSTRUCTS
THEOLOGY
OF
CREATION
OUT
OF
A
RICH
MIX
OF
CONVERSATIONS
WITH
SCRIPTURE,
THE
HISTORY
OF
CHRISTIAN
THOUGHT,
DEBATES
ABOUT
SCIENCE
AND
THEOLOGY,
AND
AN
ECUMENICAL
CHORUS
OF
THEOLOGICAL
VOICES.

SUPERB

KEEPS

ACKNOWLEDGING
FORTHRIGHTLY
BOTH
THE
EXEGETICAL
AND
PHILOSOPHICAL
PROBLEMS
POSED
BY
THE
CHURCH S
DOCTRINE
OF
CREATION
FROM
NOTHING,
THIS
WELL
RESEARCHED
AND
COGENTLY
ARGUED
STUDY
MAKES
AN
IMPRESSIVE
CASE
FOR
WHY
FAITH
IN
THE
TRUSTWORTHINESS
OF
THE
TRIUNE
GOD
WHO
CREATES
ALL
THINGS
IN
CHRIST
MAY
BE
SHOWN
TO
PROVIDE
A
DEEPER
UNDERSTANDING
OF
WHAT
CREATION
ENTAILS
THAN
EITHER
ITS
ANCIENT
OR
RECENT
ALTERNATIVES.
ONCE
AGAIN
MCFARLAND
HAS
DEMONSTRATED
HOW
A
FIRST-RATE
CRITICAL
ENGAGEMENT
WITH
THE
SOURCES
OF
CHRISTIAN
DOCTRINAL
TRADITIONS
CAN
CONSTRUCTIVELY
ADDRESS
SOME
OF
TODAY S
MOST
VITAL
ISSUES.

IAN
MCFARLAND
HAS
PRODUCED
ONE
OF
THE
MOST
SUBSTANTIAL
CONTRIBUTIONS
IN
RECENT
TIMES
TO
THE
THEOL
OGY
OF
CREATION.
ROOTED
IN
SCRIPTURE
AND
CHURCH
TRADITION,
YET
ALWAYS
ALERT
TO
CONTEMPORARY
CHAL
LENGES,
HIS
STUDY
OFFERS
AN
IMPORTANT
DEFENSE
OF
THE
CLASSICAL
EX
NIHILO
DOCTRINE.
BY
DESCRIBING
ITS
VITAL
FUNCTION
FOR
CHRISTIAN
THOUGHT
AND
ACTION,
HE
SHOWS
HOW
IT
IS
NOT
A
QUASI-SCIENTIFIC
HYPOTHESIS
BUT
AN
ESSENTIAL
PART
OF
AN
ACCOUNT
OF
THE
WAYS
IN
WHICH
ALL
CREATURES
ARE
SUSTAINED
AND
LOVED
BY
GOD.

MCFARLAND S
MONOGRAPH
IS
ARGUABLY
THE
MOST
SERIOUS
RETRIEVAL
OF
THE
DOCTRINE
OF
CREATION
EX
NIHILO
IN
RECENT
SYSTEMATIC
THEOLOGY.
HE
SUCCESSFULLY
DISPELS
THE
ACCUSATION
THAT
THE
DOCTRINE
NECESSARILY
IMPLIES
AN
ARBITRARY
GOD
AND
CONVINCINGLY
ARGUES,
THROUGH
CHRISTOLOGICAL
REFOCUSING,
THAT
THIS
KEY
AFFIRMATION
OF
CHRISTIAN
FAITH
PROCLAIMS
HOW
THE
CREATOR
IS
NOT
ONLY
INEXHAUSTIBLY
RICH
IN
GOD S
SELF,
BUT
ALSO
ENDLESSLY
PROFLIGATE
IN
SHARING
THIS
DIVINE
PLENITUDE
WITH
CREATURES.
THROUGH
CAREFUL
REREADING
OF
BIBLICAL
TEXTS
AND
LIVELY
CONVERSATION
WITH
PATRISTIC
AND
OTHER
SOURCES
FROM
THE
CHRIS
TIAN
TRADITION,
WE
ARE
TREATED
TO
A
FRESH
AND
INCISIVE
ANALYSIS
OF
DIVINE
TRANSCENDENCE,
FREEDOM,
PROVIDENCE,
AND
LOVE
FOR
THE
CONTINGENT,
CREATED
