A Catechism of Creation: An Episcopal Understanding
prepared for study in congregations
by The Committee on Science, Technology, and Faith
Through Christ, all things were made. “A Catechism of Creation” helps us to think about what that means. It is written in question-and-answer formats, like the Prayer Book’s Catechism (pp. 843-862). Part I builds upon the Bible’s basic doctrine of creation. Part II outlines the modern scientific worldview, including the Big Bang and the evolution of life. Part III presents the biblical roots of environmental care. Each section’s bibliography encourages further study of science, technology, and the Christian faith.
