Creation

In this classic work of biblical scholarship, Claus Westermann offers a profound and systematic interpretation of the creation accounts in the book of Genesis. Moving away from the modern conflict between science and religion, Westermann explores the theological and existential significance of Genesis 1–3, viewing these narratives as expressions of the human relationship with God and the world. He analyzes the two distinct creation stories and the account of the Fall, emphasizing that creation is not merely a past event but an ongoing reality of divine blessing and preservation. By placing these texts within the context of the history of religions and the rest of the Bible, Westermann provides a definitive study on how the ancient stories of origins continue to address the fundamental questions of human existence today.
