The doctrine is discussed within the context of the Old and New Testaments and extra-biblical material. The book includes discussions of the philosophical issues of creation versus conservation and the finite versus infinite past before addressing the scientific confirmation of creatio ex nihilo.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\"Few classical Christian doctrines have been subjected to as much criticism in the past two hundred years as the claim that God created the world 'out of nothing.' In this brilliant book, Copan and Craig rehabilitate the doctrine. With wide learning--the authors pass skilfully among biblical, philosophical, theological, and scientific issues--and carefully constructed arguments, the authors clearly show that creation out of nothing can be defended against its critics. They also compellingly show why the doctrine is essential to believing Christians. I recommend this badly needed book with great enthusiasm.\"--Stephen T. Davis, Russell K.
