Creation, by Justo Gonzalez

Creation
Chapter 2

1. Reread the first three chapters of Genesis. What jumps out at you today?

2. Briefly compare the two creation stories.  Which story do you prefer?

3. Why might there be two different stories of creation in the Bible?

4. What does it mean that the greatest act of God’s love is taking a risk on us?

5. Share a time when you took a risk.  Are you typically a risk-tolerant or risk-adverse person?

6. The author says that what should concern us about creation is not how the world was made, but who made it.  Is this true for you?

7.  Why do people argue over the how?

8.  The author says that the “doctrine of creation is neither only nor even primarily about origins, but rather about relationships: about the relationship between God and the world, between God and us, among us and others, and among all creatures.”  

- Share a time when you felt close to God. 
- How do you see God reflected in nature?  
- In other people?  
- In yourself?
