In the first volume of the new Truth and Christian Imagination series, McGrath employs seven great Western paintings and lively quotes from literature to introduce readers to the doctrine of creation. Makes one rethink how to relate to God's world---and the plants, animals, and human beings in it. 96 pages, hardcover. Fortress.

Employing seven classic paintings, Creation invites readers to envision the origin, dependence, and large purpose of the universe and their own lives. McGrath explores the seven traditional aspects of the doctrine of creation: encountering creation, tending creation, the spirituality of creation, the parables of creation, the Lord of creation, the place of humanity in creation, and the ruin and restoration of humanity. The first of six volumes in the Truth and the Christian Imagination series, this book will help students and lay people understand the relevance of traditional theological terminology, the continued viability of a broadly Christian approach, and the pertinence of doctrine in their daily lives.
