THE TEACHING ON CREATION IN THE 4th CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Man was created by God as the crown of creation, in His image and likeness, to deify himself and to deify the whole of nature. According to Christian teaching, “the supernatural divine revelation shows us that the world is the work of God, created not from a matter that has existed forever and is coeternal with God, but out of nothing”. The issue of creation in general, of the days of creation, and the creation of man in particular, was highlighted, among other topics, by fourth-century Christian thinkers, the fourth century being known as the golden age thanks to the works written by the personalities of this period.
