Abstract
“Not only is creation in eclipse in contemporary theology; it has ceased to play any significant part in popular piety. It is noteworthy that when occasion calls for a brief, summary statement of faith, creation is often passed over…. An obvious alternative [to abandoning the doctrine of creation] would be to follow the tendency in modern theology, to move the accent from the moment of origination and to refer the doctrine of creation to the continuing dependence of all things on God. … Presumably, [modern man] would be more responsive if creation were presented to him primarily in terms of creatureliness, and the moment of createdness were allowed to fade into the background.”
