Excerpt from The Idea of Creation; Its Origin and Its Value: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Divinity School in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
I am indebted to Professor George Burman Foster for suggest ing the subject, for helpful hints as to the treatment and for much besides not easy to designate.
I can not refrain from a fuller expression of deep indebted ness to my lamented friend and instructor, President William Rainey Harper, under whose guidance and inspiration the Old Testament materials were worked out. Under his leadership the Old Testament became more human and more divine. Out of the historical and critical study there emerged a new spiritual unity and a new e-thieo-religious value, as the supreme purpose [of crea tion and redemption was seen fulfilling itself in many ways through an age-long process; and the divine authority remained, not because supported by isolated texts torn from their contexts, but because through all the process the one increasing purpose was manifest, the purpose of holy love.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the idea of creation, examining its significance within the Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Tracing the historical development of this concept, the author explores its roots in ancient Jewish thought, highlighting how the belief in God as the Creator evolved over time, becoming a central tenet of faith. The book then investigates the philosophical underpinnings of the idea of creation, analyzing its relationship to theism and contrasting it with various naturalistic theories of the cosmos. Through a rich exploration of the Old Testament, the author illuminates the different ways in which the concept of creation is presented in various scriptural texts, from the poetic imagery of Job and Psalms to the more formal prose of Genesis. Ultimately, the book aims to demonstrate the enduring value of the idea of creation for religious thought, arguing that it holds essential meaning for understanding the relationship between God and the world. This insightful work offers a compelling analysis of a foundational concept in Abrahamic religious thought, enriching our understanding of both its historical significance and its enduring relevance.
