What Is Humanity's First & Final Calling | Interviewing Sandra Richter

Post-Lecture Interview with the Speaker Lecture Title - The Servant, the Idol, & the Image of God: Isaiah’s Conversation with the Creation Account When we think of the doctrine of creation, our minds often immediately turn to the opening chapters of Genesis. And this is where our minds should turn first–but if we stop there, we are liable to miss the full scope of the Scriptural witness of God's acts in creation. Creation is not merely a preface to Christian teaching–it permeates the whole Bible, informing nearly every aspect of what we know about God and our relationship to him. In this dialogue, Sandra Richter discusses the role that creation plays in the book of Isaiah, moving from God's good creation in the garden of eden, to his recreation of all things and the New Jerusalem. Sandra L. Richter (PhD Harvard University) is Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College. She is author of The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament (IVP Academic, 2008) and Stewards of Eden: What Scripture Says About the Environment and Why It Matters (IVP Academic, 2020). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
