Nature is the First Scripture
The first act of divine revelation is creation itself. The first Bible is the Bible of nature. It was written at least 13.8 billion years ago, at the moment that we call the Big Bang, long before the Bible of words.
Respecting Creation as the First Bible
We can begin to experience nature as a doorway to the sacred, a way to find stillness, silence, and timeless mystery.
Mark Coleman • Awake in the Wild
The reason for our confusion is that we usually read the Bible as a series of disconnected stories, each with a “moral” for how we should live our lives. It is not. Rather, it comprises a single story, telling us how the human race got into its present condition, and how God through Jesus Christ has come and will come to put things right.
