God’s Roles as Creator and Sustainer

Proposition 14: God’s Roles as Creator and Sustainer
Are Less Different Than We Have Thought.

“Two extremes need to be avoided as we seek to understand God as Creator:

  1. that his work as Creator is simply a finished act of the past (potential for deism), or
  2. that his work as Creator is in an eternally repeating present (potential for micromanagement)”

In this book that sees creation as a functional event, God continues to sustain the functions.
