Playing in the Dust offers a fresh and forward looking way of reading the creation stories. Here are the foundations for an adventurous, undefended, inspirational, exploratory and generous faith through which to engage with our emerging world and the questions and challenges it presents us with. Conversational in style, short chapters journey through the two Genesis stories, pausing to explore the wide variety of themes and questions they throw up, including what it means to be created 'out of nothing' and to be made in God's image, living in a world where there is freedom and obedience, danger and risk, ecology and dominion, human identity and calling, desire and temptation, rest and play, judgement and exile, and much more. David Runcorn extends an invitation to return to these familiar stories of our beginnings and rediscover their playful wisdom, as they refresh and guide our journeys of faith and life with God our maker.
