Lewis, C. S. Lewis
"The Jews, as we all know, believed
in one God, maker of heaven and earth. Nature and God
were distinct; the One had made the other; the One
ruled and the other obeyed. This, I say, we all
know. But for various reasons its real significance
can easily escape a modern reader if his studies
happen not to have led him in certain
directions.
In the first place it is for us a platitude. We take
it for granted. Indeed I suspect that many people
assume that some clear doctrine of creation underlies
all religions: that in Paganism the gods, or one of the
gods, usually created the world; even that religions
normally begin by answering the question, 'Who made the
world?' In reality, creation, in any unambiguous sense,
seems to be a surprisingly rare doctrine; and when
stories about it occur in Paganism they are often
religiously unimportant, not in the least central to
the religions in which we find them. They are on the
fringe where religion tales off into what was perhaps
felt, even at that time, to be more like
fairy-tale. . . .
To say that God created Nature, while it brings God and
Nature into relation, also separates them. What
makes and what is made must be two, not one. Thus
the doctrine of Creation in one sense empties Nature
of divinity. . . .
The doctrine of Creation leaves nature full of
manifestations which show the presence of God,
and created energies which serve Him. The light
is His garment, the thing we partially see Him
through (104, 2), the thunder can be His voice (29, 3-5). He dwells in the dark thundercloud (18, 11), the eruption of a volcano comes in answer to his touch (104, 32).
SoAmazing Review:
In Reflections On The Psalms, C. S. Lewis
does not hesitate to challenge the "fairy-tales"
prevalent in many religions.
