Description:

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss the doctrines of creation and providence.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • Why do we treat the doctrines of creation and providence together?
  • Barry Jones says that our creation story determines the trajectory of our culture. What does that mean? 
  • What are some questions the original audience was asking?
  • What are the essentials of a Christian doctrine of creation?
  • What’s a good definition of providence?

Helpful Definitions:

  • Transcendent: God is other (by an infinite extent).
  • Imminent: God is near to his creation.
  • Creator-Creature Distinction: God is the creator, everything else is creation.
  • Theological Triage: Rightly prioritize the urgency and clarity with which we address the topics in a theological category.
  • Providence: God’s continued governance and fatherly care over all things.
