Description: The foundation upon which all our beliefs are built, the Creation has been mentioned in various books of the Old and New Testaments, and explicitly defined in the Councils of the Church. However, men only have full realization of the truths of the Church when they apply the definitions of these truths in their own lives. To know that God is the Creator is to know that we are his creatures. The author explains the responsibility which this knowledge imposes upon us. He also deals in detail with topics such as the relation of the Second and Third Persons of the Trinity to the Creation, the necessity of the Creative Act, the Wisdom and Goodness of God in creating, and the Creation of the New Man through the Incarnation.
