Creation and Reality
"Michael Welker returns to the most elemental issues in the biblical theme of creator/creation and rethinks from the ground up the vexed and urgent issues of revelation, creation ex nihilo, domination, and "the fall." Welker effectively links these great questions to the current cultural crisis of the West. Along the way he makes clear beyond any doubt why even systematic theologians must always again resume the task of exegesis. Creation and Reality is an important contribution to the dramatic overhaul of theological categories now required for faithful reading." ---Walter Brueggemann Columbia Theological Seminary
