Publisher's Synopsis
Of the major world religions, three - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - claim that the universe is not a brute fact. It is 'created'. But what do we mean by 'creation'? Do we mean that the universe is 'designed'? Is it the product of an evolutionary process? How are creatures related to God, and does God act within creation? In this guide, Simon Oliver highlights some of the main themes in the history of this debate, beginning with the background to the Christian doctrine of creation in Greek philosophy and the Old Testament.
