The biblical narrative is cosmic in its scope. The triune God preceded anything that we know or could imagine. All space, time, matter and knowledge come from God. As we have seen, this is the message of Genesis 1 and 2 and of the opening chapter of John’s Gospel: ‘All things came into being through [the Word], and without him not one thing came into being’ (John 1.3). All reality is God’s reality and so we apply that same reason that we mentioned above to the pursuit of truth through the sciences, history, and the arts. That is why in our learning together we also draw on the insights and knowledge of other disciplines which enrich our understanding of human identity, sexuality, marriage and relationships. This book is an invitation to engage in this interdisciplinary learning with confidence, wonder and humility because we are accompanied by the God who is the source of all life and truth.
