Synopsis:
Embracing Creation tells the story of the relationship between God, humanity, and Creation. God calls humanity to preserve, develop, and love his good Creation, his cosmic temple. Recalling the original story of Creation, the authors retell the story of Israel, Jesus, and the Church in light of God's love for the cosmos. Through the resurrection of Jesus, God redeems humanity and Creation from the bondage of death. Learn to embrace Creation-protecting the earth's resources, subduing its chaos, rejoicing in its gifts, and meditating on its splendor in worship. God created something good and intends to make it even better. The good Creation is not to be annihilated but made new for an eternal habitation of God with humanity.
