A Creative Theology

The curtain opens on the creator of the heavens and the earth creating the heavens and the earth. It is a blast of character development that provides a context for what is about to go down. By the end of the text, this God who opens the story by speaking our physical world into existence will have stepped onto earth, suffered alongside his creation, wept, bled, and been crucified by the Roman Empire. He will then make a promise that the story doesn’t conclude with death, but that the very creation we saw in the opening sentence of the story will be restored.

I believe this sheds light on how our creative process hints at the divine. Our creative nature points to a God who is fundamentally understood in Scripture as a creative being. It’s a creative theology.

What is that quote from? Glad you asked. It is taken from the opening of project I am working on – slowly but surely.
