In "Thinking Through Creation," Christopher Watkin embarks on a profound exploration of Genesis 1 and 2, challenging readers to delve beyond the surface of these well-trodden passages to unearth the deep-seated truths they contain about God, the world, and our very selves. With an astute eye and a masterful touch, Watkin illuminates these foundational chapters, revealing their intrinsic richness as sources of insight for engaging with contemporary cultural and philosophical debates. This book is not merely an academic exercise; it is an invitation to reacquaint oneself with the essence of creation and the Trinity, seeing them anew as vibrant and vital forces that question, inform, and transform our understanding of the world around us. Watkin's work stands as a beacon for those seeking to navigate the complex intersections of faith, culture, and ideology with sensitivity and integrity. By reclaiming the doctrines of the Trinity and creation from the dismissals of cultural skeptics, "Thinking Through Creation" offers a fresh perspective on these ancient texts, demonstrating their enduring relevance and power to speak into today's most pressing issues. With clarity, depth, and an unwavering commitment to thoughtful engagement, Watkin's book is a compelling call to thoughtfully consider the foundational elements of Christian doctrine as dynamic lenses through which to view, understand, and interact with the world.

This is a remarkable book, from a top flight expert in post-structuralist French philosophy-meaning he understands our current cultural context. - Tim Keller
Biblically speaking, to claim that God is transcendent is not to say that he is unknowable, but that he is not a part of the universe he has made and that he stands above it in control of it. Similarly, to claim that God is immanent is not to say that God is a part of the universe he has made, but that he is present with his people in covenant relationship.
— Christopher Watkin, Thinking Through Creation
