“[T]hese people lived close to the ground, if you will, and the natural world filled their lives. Creation was a lived reality for them prior to the development of specific ideas about creation.”
Terence E. Fretheim, God and World in the Old Testament: A Relational Theology of Creation

“[C]reation" is not simply viewed as a matter of origination or a divine activity chronologically set only "in the beginning.”
Terence E. Fretheim, God and World in the Old Testament: A Relational Theology of Creation
