Week 2--Bevans Chapter 2 (Creation-centered Theology)

How can we even have a conversation between culture and theology if we adopt a redemption centered theology? In the instance of creation centered theology the context can be revelatory, but in the redemption centered view the context dims the light of God’s revelation. I think we can hold to a creation-based model by understanding that the context of culture itself is not holy, but it is infused with the Spirit of God. Thinking that there’s nothing positive about the culture at large is a misunderstanding of God’s Kingdom.
