Summary/Abstract: The given study attempts to reconstruct the insight into the doctrine of creatio continua according to Jürgen Moltmann’s intuitions. As he claims, the idea of continuous creation – in order to be properly exposed – requires two approaches. Firstly, the traditional meaning of the given concept needs to be reminded; secondly, a holistic point of view, that includes the pneumatological and eschatological aspects, should be emphasised. Such an extended vision of creatio continua suggested by Moltmann leads to a conclusion that this element of Christian doctrine of creation is still important for today’s theology.
