Abstract:

The history of controversy over evolution and the bible is a history of confusion between biblical and scientific approaches to origins. Taking some cues from John Calvin who, in the 16th century, addressed the emerging controversies over cosmology, the paper examines a variety of differences between biblical and scientific types of literature as they deal with cosmogony. Biblical uses of phenomenal observation, analogical reasoning, numerology, and theological critique are distinguished from the approaches to origins used in modern scientific and historical investigations. Their respective mo

Abstract:

The main aim of this paper is to demystify biblical cosmogony through <em>Theogenesial Theory</em> as against Darwinism and subsequently elucidate the trichotomous nature of man created by God in His image (Imago Dei). The <em>Theogenesial Theory</em> states that everything came into existence by divine fiat, both the physical and non-physical elements. This theory posits that God is the Source and Beginning of all things—living and non-living things. He created all things. In other words, the universe came into existence as a result of divine fiat. God created the universe through His c

Abstract After some preliminary remarks on Cyril’s two works on the Pentateuch, De adoratione and Glaphyra, as well as the σκοπός of the biblical text, this contribution deals with Cyril’s reading of the biblical account of the creation of the universe and creation of man. In contrast to other interpreters, e. g., the Cappadocian fathers, the Alexandrian patriarch does not show interest in a detailed explanation of cosmogony based on natural philosophy. He rather emphasizes the limits of the human mind in understanding the details of the act of God’s creation of the world. According to Cyril’s

The article shows a comparison between two ideas or ‘models' of community, Tönnies Gemeinschaft, reworked by Schmitt, and the Latin American indigenous peoples' Comunidad. A comparison that starts from the respective origin myths (the biblical Genesis on one hand, and the Maya cosmogony narrated in the Popol Vuh on the other) and arrives at the reflections on the subject of rights and freedoms that these narratives still produce today, in contemporary intercultural societies. The study focuses in particular on how the element of identity and belonging to a community can be used to motivate pol

Наиболее фундаментальным и типичным видом мифотворчества осетин являются космогонические мифы. Космогонические мифы повествуют о происхождении космоса в целом и его частей, связанных в единой системе. Основным начальным сюжетом творения мира в осетинской космогонии является происхождение космоса из хаоса. Часть космогонии составляют антропогонические мифы, в том числе о сотворении человека, первой человеческой пары или первых людей. Осетинская мифология, восходящая к индоиранскому наследию, испытала влияние христианства, ислама и кавказской культурной общности. Актуальность исследования мотива

The author considers positive natural-philosophical emanationism in early antiquity, the category of “nothing” in the context of emanationism and demiurgism in the Platonic tradition, the Gnostic concept of creation and its correlates in church heterodoxy, as well as the idea of creation from nothing in biblical Christian creationism. The ratio of Gnostic, Platonic and Church cosmology is shown in the context of the interpretation of the category of nothing in these currents. The ar

Abstract:

The parable has received little attention as a form in Zoroastrian Pahlavi literature. Taking a first step to correct this deficit, this article examines an extended parable that appears in the Škand Gumānīg Wizār, the ninth century theological and political treatise. The parable likens Ohramzd’s conflict with Ahriman and his creation of the world to a gardener’s attempt to keep hungry vermin from his garden by means of a trap. Borrowing tools developed in the study of rabbinic exegetical parables and poetics, the article argues that the garden parable not only aims to make a theological point

Abstract:

Paul Veyne wrote a book entitled,Did the Greeks Believe their Myths?Regarding rabbinic Judaism, one might similarly ask: Did the rabbis believe their imagery? Rabbinic literature is so replete with fanciful images of God and humans and anecdotes of epiphanies involving both, that one naturally wonders whether the midrashic authors believed that their imagery reflected some actual moment in the world's history. Some scholars have chosen to view the literature as containing parables and images that were composed as mere metaphors, sometimes used for political purposes, and other times to spawn f

The article provides a historical and philological commentary and analysis of the story describing God's creation of the world (Genesis 1:1–2:3). The story of Creation, or hexaemeron, sets the perspective for the entire narrative of the Genesis, from the prehistory of mankind to the cycle of the patriarchs. This story is distinguished by its precise composition and elevated style. The text, which is usually associated with the so-called priestly source, serves to express the most important theological ideas and can be called a liturgical hymn to the one God, His creative design and care for th

Abstract:

Because the gnostic heresy is a social construction imposed by the early Catholics on religious people they identified as transgressors of Christianity, scholars are entertaining the idea that ancient gnostics were actually alternative Christians. While gnostics may have been made into heretics by the early Catholics, this does not erase the fact that gnostics were operating in the margins of the conventional religions with a countercultural perspective that upset and overturned everything from traditional theology, cosmogony, cosmology, anthropology, hermeneutics, scripture, religious practic

Abstract:

Ethical Encounter Theology (E.E.T.) is developed as a scientifically coherent, perfect being theist worldview, supported by holistic biblical readings and a strong theodicy. Ethically-structured cosmogony bridges the revelational/empirical gap that separates traditional perfect being theism from Theology/Science research. The dissertation explores an ethical worldview where biblical faith in a perfect God is consonant with contemporary science. Processes of ethical encounter, binary ethical apocalypsis and ethical dialysis characterize a worldview in which science and traditional theology can

The reception approach is followed in the research because of its emphasis on the role of the reader in understanding texts.

«Au commencement, Dieu créa le Ciel et la Terre». À l’ouverture du récit de la Genèse, le plus célèbre des incipit condense ce qui a constitué durant des siècles à la fois l’imagerie et le modèle théorique de la Création du monde en Occident. Or, dès le XVIIe siècle, la conception de la Création s’enrichit de considérations savantes qui bousculent l’univoque de la version biblique. Le récit canonique est alors instruit par les notions profanes d’évolution ou de loi mécanique qui bouleversent l’image biblique d’un Dieu-Créateur du monde en six jours dont la tradition avait longtemps fixé le can

The rise of naturalism in the earth sciences is discussed in terms of the disappearance from the geological literature of references to the Bible and God. From Immanuel Kant’s ground-breaking nebular hypothesis of 1755, such references were to be found with decreasing frequency in the leading treatises that dealt with the origin and historical development of Earth. Biblical cosmogony and God-talk were not included in the new earth and planetary sciences but relegated to the sphere of metaphysics. Especially Alexander von Humboldt, by the middle of the nineteenth century, proved trend-setting,

This chapter focuses on two key themes constructive accounts of the imago Dei must address: the continuing relevance of the image/likeness distinction beyond its original exegetical framing and how what we mean by ‘image’ might be better theologically rendered as ‘symbol.’ Situating the doctrine in the wider biblical cosmogony from which it arises, while focusing on three historical theologians—Irenaeus, Augustine, and Schleiermacher—the chapter builds a case for what constitute inescapable elements of this symbol. Building on this historical recapitulation, it is argued that to be the image o
