The Creativity of God

World, Eucharist, Reason
Oliver Davies, King's College London
August 2004
Available
Paperback
9780521538459
    Description

    Theological tradition has lost its sense of the created nature of the world, leading to a complete break between the way we know God and the world. The Johannine tradition of creation through the Word and a Eucharistic semiotic of Christ as the embodied creative speech of God serve to reintegrate Christian cosmology. This book sets out "a new understanding" of reality, as encountered in and through Jesus Christ, and explores new modes of ecclesial reasoning.

    • Offers a scriptural account of the world
    • Explores a theology of the Eucharist as divine creativity
    • Oliver Davies is one of the UK's leading theologians

    Reviews & endorsements

    "Davies produces a work that is at once radical and very traditional for a Western theology--one that is well worth reading." James W. Farwell, The General Theological Seminary
