- Judaeo-Christian: The concept of God as a creator.
- Presentation of God in the Bible.
- Genesis 1: God created the world over six days.
- Described as transcendent and existent.
- The world is shown to owe its being to the divine action of a sovereign God.
- God causes everything to exist, it exists by his command.
- On the 6th day, he created man in 'his own image'. Climax of creation story.
- World exists for mankind who God gave dominion to. Stewardship.
- God as a craftsman.
- Genesis 2-3
- Making man from dust.
- Job 28: God described as a designer who laid the foundations of the Earth.
- God is responsible for everything existing.
- Omnipotence, Omniscience and Omnipresence.
- Omnipotence = God is all powerful, his power is seen through his creation.
- Omniscience = God is all knowing, he knows what is happening in his creation and has a limitless knowledge of the whole universe.
- Omnipresence = God is present in his creation and sustains in its being.
- 'creatio ex nihilo'
- Christian teaching explaining how God created the world from nothing.
- Not found in genesis but can be implied from God creating by his word.
- Presentation of God in the Bible.
