The Scripture Doctrine of Creation argues that faith in a Creator is the sure ground for morality and meaning, even when science and modern theories challenge traditional views.

This edition surveys how creation underpins social virtue, the law, and Christian hope, and it tests two prominent modern challenges—Religious Nihilism and Evolution—against the Bible’s description of life, law, and divine design. It shows how scientific ideas can inspire deeper questions rather than erode faith, and it clarifies what a biblical account of creation contributes to personal belief and public ethics.

Explore how the Creator’s sovereignty shapes morality, duty, and human relation to neighbor
See why the book considers Redemption as a “new creation” rooted in an earlier divine work
Read a guided critique of Religious Nihilism and the theory of Development and Evolution
Understand how scientific discovery can illuminate faith without dethroning the Creator

Ideal for readers of religious philosophy, scripture study, and Christian theology who want a clear, accessible discussion of creation, faith, and modern thought.

Book Description

A controversial figure in the Victorian church, T. R. Birks, professor of philosophy at Cambridge, was a vocal and influential anti-Darwinian. He argued that though modern science confirmed the glory of God, the theory of evolution could not explain the mystery of creation, to which scripture held the key.
