God as Creator
- GOD IN GENESIS
- The Bible opens with accounts of
God and creation. There are 2
creation stories in Genesis - Genesis
1 is concerned with the creation of
universe whereas Genesis 2 sets out
God's relationship with humanity.
- Both hold the key to the Judaeo-Christian
understanding of God. There are many
other writings about God & his relationship
with humanity within the Old and New
Testaments, and these also contribute to
believers' concept of God. They also show
that Jews and Christians believe God has a
continuing relationship with his creation.

- CREATIO EX NIHILO
- The meaning of this Latin term
is much as it appears: creation
from nothing. It is the belief
that God created the whole
universe, along with everything
in existence, out of nothing.
- This was a deliberate action
from God and one that is good. It
means that God is the master of
the world and its contents but
that God remains outside of his
creation.

- GOD THE CRAFTSMAN
- In Job 38:4-6 the God who speaks
directly to Job is portrayed as the
skilled builder of the world.
- "Were you there when I made
the world? If you know so
much, tell me about it. Who
decided how large it would be?
Who stretched the
measuring-line over it? Do you
know all the answers? What
holds up the pillars that support
the earth? Who laid the
corner-stone of the world?

- THE CREATION OF HUMANITY
- Both Genesis stories show that God
regards humans as the highest point of his
creation. In Genesis 1, the universe is
created piece by piece and finally humanity
is placed on the earth to rule it.
- Genesis 2 contains a briefer account of God's
creation of the earth and plant life but it's clear that
these were set up ready for God's most important
creation, humanity. Although animals are created
next, they're made for the benefit of humans.
- A significant difference between the way God is portrayed in the 2 Genesis stories is his
interaction with humanity. The God in Genesis 2 speaks directly to the humans he created.
There's a relationship between God and his creation that enables God to bless people and to
punish them. This is different from the sterile power envisaged by the Ancient Greeks.
