God’s word is the vehicle of creation. This testimony to His creative will lies hidden within a mountain of words like a pointillist exercise of invention. The written word has been the timeless link to our conception of creation. It has condensed the grand scale of the cosmos to human perception. The words reveal God’s grace and man’s response -- the sin of pride and the loss of paradise.
