Religion and Creation by Keith Ward
This book is the second part of a major project of comparative theology begun with Religion and Revelation (Clarendon Press, 1994), which looks at major concepts of faith in all four of the main scriptural religions of the world. In Religion and Creation, the author explores the idea of a creator God in the work of twentieth century writers from Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity. He develops a positive concept of God which stresses God's dynamic and responsive relation to the temporal structure of the universe, and the importance of that structure to the self-expression of the divine being. Professor Ward goes on to present a Trinitarian doctrine of creation, drawing inspiration from a wider set of theistic traditions and recent discussions in physics in the realm of cosmology.
Here is an excellent continuation of Keith Ward's project of looking at major concepts of faith in some main scriptural religionsThe last chapter constitutes a magisterial critique of contemporary essays on the Trinity It is not easy to be neutral about this sort of tour de force. ... making its author one of the most creative theologians in Britain today. * Theology *
