289
Among all the Scriptural texts about creation, the first three chapters of
Genesis occupy a unique place. From a literary standpoint these texts may have
had diverse sources. the inspired authors have placed them at the beginning of
Scripture to express in their solemn language the truths of creation – its
origin and its end in God, its order and goodness, the vocation of man, and
finally the drama of sin and the hope of salvation. Read in the light of
Christ, within the unity of Sacred Scripture and in the living Tradition of the
Church, these texts remain the principal source for catechesis on the mysteries
of the “beginning”: creation, fall, and promise of salvation.
