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.

Resources Mentioned in this Episode:

• Genesis 1-2
• “You Are a Theologian” by Jen Wilkin and JT English
