"Hey, thanks for the kind words. Brueggemann has been a significant influence on me as well, especially his book The Prophetic Imagination. I think you're right, creation shouldn't be about ascribe do some theory about the origins of the universe. I will leave it to the scientist to figure that one out. Creation is about the ongoing work of God, work in which we are invited to participate. The more I think about, the more it seems clear to me that creatio ex nihilo is really more trouble than it is worth. It is beholden to a static notion of God bequeathed to modernity from Greek metaphysics. That is one of the reasons why I really appreciate the work of Caputo and Keller. Both are interested in theologizing outside those confines." - Blake Huggins
