To Be a Theologian of the Cross

今天讀Gunton的The Christian Faith第一章的Section 2. "The Meaning of the Doctrine of Creation"。裡面有段引用Robert Jenson的話是這樣寫的：

        The first proposition [of a doctrine of creation]: that God creates means that there is other reality than God and that is really other than he.

接著Gunton寫道：

        This means in turn that the only meaningful distinction between different kinds of being - in technical terms, ontological distinction - is between creator and creation. There are no intermediate forms that are half divine and half created, or which in some other way fill the intervening 'space' between creator and creature.

這個說明創造的角度真是精彩，而且似乎也對基督論的維護頗有貢獻。
