Maker of heaven and earth; a study of the Christian doctrine of creation

A thoughtful, clear consideration of the Christian idea of creation, placing this basic Christian tenet in the setting of recent insights from the physical sciences, metaphysical philosophy, and the study of myth and symbol. The author's reinterpretation of the dogma of creation brings fresh insights and relevance to the meaning of human existence. Originally published by Doubleday in 1959, this volume is still "must" reading for students of theology and philosophy.
