Savior and Creator

Abstract

In the current creation-evolution debate, this article studies the Christological hymn of Col 1:15-20, exploring what it means that Jesus is called creator. The study looks at how the different attributes of Jesus Christ mentioned in the passage relate to the creation theme and how the creation theme affects the concept of Jesus as sustainer and savior. It argues that creation and salvation belong together inseparably.
