Creation: a short bibliography

19 February 2016

Andrew Davison suggests some useful texts

David B. Burrell, Carlo Cogliati, Janet M. Soskice and William R. Stoeger (eds.), Creation and the God of Abraham (CUP, 2010) — not introductory, but a tremendous collection of essays.

Ian McFarland, From Nothing: A theology of creation (Westminster John Knox, 2014) — again, not for the complete beginner.

John Mustol, Dusty Earthlings: Living as eco-physical beings in God’s eco-physical world (Cascade, 2012)

Simon Oliver, Creation: A guide for the perplexed (Bloomsbury, 2016) – be ready to get it hot off the press.

John Webster, “‘Love Is Also a Lover of Life’: Creatio ex nihilo and creaturely goodness”, Modern Theology 29 (2013) — a rare journal article on this list, it is terrific.
