Presented at the CiRCE National Conference 2022.

The World that God created and the World marred by our sin are truly very different, and a reconciliation of the two is an essential element of the grand work of God in Christ. But the original created World, that God called “good,” was itself already plural in a way before the Fall, and since then our apprehension of those worlds is far more difficult. This lecture will address the two “worlds” of the original Creation, and how their interaction gives meaning in life, and purpose to artistic creation.
