 Parker's Pensées  Ep. 143 - Creation Ex Nihilo or Ex Something-o? w/Dr. Brian Orr
 Dec 26, 2021 
 In an engaging discussion with Dr. Brian Orr, a bi-locational pastor and founder of Classical Theology journal, the conversation dives into the doctrine of creation. Orr challenges the traditional idea of creation ex nihilo, exploring Thomas Oord's perspective that God creates from preexisting stuff. They tackle the relationship between God’s love and creation, contrasting modern theological views with ancient Near Eastern narratives. The dialogue unfolds complex implications for God's nature and human creativity, offering a fresh lens on God's role as the orchestrator of order.
