Meaty theology

CREATOR:
A Theological Interpretation of Genesis 1
By Peter J. Leithart
IVP. 340 pages. £32

Peter Leithart is a prolific author, but realised that one vital area was underrepresented: the doctrine of creation, hence this volume and two proposed companion volumes on creation and man.

The aim of this volume is stated as follows: ‘Creator is largely a theological commentary on portions of Genesis 1:1-2:3 and attempts to articulate a fundamental theology explicitly and rigorously controlled by the Bible’s first chapter.’
