In his book, Christ, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper, Leonard Vander Zee establishes the Old Testament world view as one “founded on the assertion that this world is God’s creation. The Old Testament begins in Genesis 1 with a great hymn of praise to the Creator. As each succeeding stanza of the hymn unfolds the wonders of the universe, the refrain crescendos with a cry of joy: ‘It was good … it was good … it was very good!’ The goodness of creation and God’s intimate involvement with it is the foundation of the Old Testament world view.”
