A Perfect Creation: The Light behind the Dark Side of GENESIS (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615251554)

A new understanding of creation and of ourselves. A PERFECT CREATION challenges both creationists and theistic evolutionists to look deeper into the infinite intimacy of God in gifting us to BE. We are called to acknowledge our hidden failure of personal gratitude for our own be-ing. We are seen to be not the only cause of darkness, pain, and evil in our lives, but the ultimate cause. We have spiritually repressed our absolute origin in God and have confused our coming to be in cosmic creation with our originative creation out of nothing. The Book of GENESIS and the rest of the Bible deal largely with the creation of rescue--done by God out of the void, darkness, dust, et al. caused by our pristine personal failure to say fully YES to the gift of being. The original history-making sin of Adam and Eve in Eden is seen as a major symptom of the originative sin of each one of us WITH Adam and Eve, ex nihilo. We are now awakening to the prospects and hope of living forever in repentant glory.
