The Fire of Creation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169261488)

The Fire of Creation is a philosophical work by J.J. Van der Leeuw that explores the nature of creation and the divine. The author delves into the idea of creation as a process that is ongoing and eternal, and examines the role of humanity in this process. He argues that the divine is present in all things and that creation is a manifestation of this divine presence. Throughout the book, Van der Leeuw draws on a variety of religious and philosophical traditions to explore these ideas, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The Fire of Creation is a thought-provoking and insightful work that encourages readers to think deeply about the nature of existence and our place in the universe.1925.
