Creation ex nihilo

Viac o knihe

The phrase creation ex nihilo refers to the primarily Christian notion of God's creation of everything from nothing. This volume concentrates on several key areas: the relationship of the doctrine to its purported biblical sources, how the doctrine emerged in the first several centuries of the Common Era, why the doctrine came under heavy criticism in the modern era, how some theologians have responded to the objections, and the relationship of the doctrine to claims of modern science--for example, the fundamental law of physics that matter cannot be created from nothing
