According to scripture and the historic Christian creeds, God is almighty and the creator of all things, visible and invisible. This entails that the world is neither a brute fact nor without origin, meaning, and purpose. Rather, it is the work of a divine agency that creates and provides for creatures and orders them to their proper ends. That divine agency is not part of the world but is the transcendent yet immanent and continual source of the world’s existence. These claims arise from wonder and reflection on the contingency, fragility, beauty, and rational order of the world, contemplation of scripture, and the discernment of God’s revelation in and through creation. The Christian theology of creation and providence, having its roots in the Hebrew scriptures and ancient philosophy, was developed in relation to the Trinitarian doctrine of God, the incarnation of Christ, and the hope of redemption. It has been articulated in creative and critical conversation with many other traditions of enquiry into the origin, workings, and purpose of the cosmos, from ancient pagan creation myths to the modern natural sciences.
