Lecture XVI - Andrej Jeftić, The Birth of the 'Creatio Ex Nihilo' Doctrine

The Birth of the 'Creatio Ex Nihilo' Doctrine: Mapping the Territories of Science and Religion in Late Antiquity While it is often assumed that the idea of the cosmos being created 'out of nothing' is inherently present in the biblical creation narrative, historical analysis reveals that this doctrine was not fully developed until the early Christian Church Fathers articulated it. The emergence of the creatio ex nihilo doctrine marked a significant departure from classical Greek metaphysics and cosmology. In this presentation, I will trace the origins of the creatio ex nihilo doctrine to draw lessons on how we map the territories of science and religion in late antiquity.
