Smith argues that the Spirit in which God exists is not a mode of being but a pattern of relation, which enfolds the world in each moment and gives it a life coordinated with God's. “God” and “world” find mutual determination in the eschatological achievement of covenantal existence, in the triumph of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmith offers a new take on the biblical story of creation by bringing intricate interpretation of Genesis into productive dialogue with prominent voices of the Christian tradition as well as contributions from modern science and philosophy. The creation is not primarily a collection of discrete things, but the divinely-willed event of communion, which takes temporal shape within histories of generation, or the history of each generation. The human creature exists authentically in the time-framing of promise and fulfillment, coming to perceive the giving of life as good and right in the manner of the biblical covenant, and coming to desire it again - gladly consenting to life's interdependent generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: God and the Human\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: The Human and Creation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: The Human among Humans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Evil as Event among Humans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Evil as Event between Humanity and Creation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Evil as Event between God and Humanity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043435610455,"sku":"9781978707740","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781978707740.jpg?v=1750958218","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-lord-the-giver-of-life-spirit-in-relation-to-creation-9781978707740","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
