God’s life in himself is the fundamental condition of God’s work of creation. We start therefore with consideration of the identity and nature of the Creator, for biblical teaching about the act of creation grows out of what Scripture suggests about the perfect life of God. Clarity about the character of the Creator ensures that the relation between the Creator and his creatures is accurately represented.
The first sentence of the Bible explains that God created both ‘the heavens and the earth’. This indicates that the environment that we inhabit is twofold. God’s world is comprised of two parts. The physical universe – ‘earth’ – has a counterpart in the spiritual universe – ‘the heavens’. There are then two distinct dimensions of created reality, two interlocking spheres, directly connected in some respects and more indirectly linked in others.
The Bible makes colossal claims to knowledge. Its teaching about revelation treats the reasons for these claims and addresses various questions regarding them. Is God known to humanity, and if so, how? What is the origin and nature of our knowledge of God? How do we know about God, and how do we know that we know? Revelation is the biblical notion which responds to these and other issues concerning the origin and basis of affirmations about God, ourselves, and all other creatures in relation to God.
