The Pearl
The Captivating Story of the Wondrous Love of God
Creation According To Seminal Principles
Several of the early church fathers believed that God created the universe in the form of seminal principles, including Hilary of Pontiers (c. 315-367), Gregory of Nyssa and Saint Augustine.
The Pearl is a testament to these early church fathers, advancing this Seminal Principle (containing or contributing the seeds of later development) to its full extent. It's a marvelous book that opens up to every reader the mystery that has been the creation account; doing so through the lens of the full Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
As Augustine’s writings present the most developed version of this theory from the early church, it is worth looking at them briefly as it is this same foundation that is built and expanded upon in The Pearl.
Augustine believed that God created all things ex nihilo, instantaneously. He identified “in the beginning” with the beginning of time which is considered one of his most valuable contributions to the doctrine of creation. By coining this theory Augustine cut the ground from under his opponents, the Manichees, who asked “What was God doing before he created the world?” If time was created with the world then such temporal questions become meaningless, because you cannot have a time before time existed!
In his exegesis of Genesis Augustine recognised three acts of creation. The first, the plan of everything in the mind of God, in the second the creation of everything instantaneously in the form of seminal principles. The final act describes God’s works within time which we now experience in which the principles became this world and its creatures. The creation of man took place as part of God’s third act, as did the making of Eve from one of Adam’s ribs. However, even this formation of Eve from a rib was part of the seminal principles created during God’s second act.
In The Pearl you will experience this Seminal Principle worked out to its full extent.
And you will be changed for the better.
Rediscover The Creation Story Thru 'The Pearl'
“The Pearl presents the creation story of heaven and earth by weaving the full gospel story of the present Kingdom of Jesus Christ into the first three chapters of Genesis. The simple beauty of the creation story account sparkles and shines along the way. Even the crisis of choice inherent in the creation story—God's glorious story of the creation of heaven and earth!—is powerfully portrayed; the interplay of free will between the angels, God, and mankind providing the means.
“All of this provides the reader the specific understanding necessary to change the foundation (the creation story as seen thru Christ) upon which they base their understanding of salvation. And oh how powerful it is for the reader to finally find freedom in the remarkably superior theology of the full Gospel of the Kingdom! And how positively profound to finally see the creation story in all its glory through the eyes of Christ's completed victory via the unfolding of all three sections of the good news of Jesus Christ.”

“This first book in the Paul's Primers series is outstanding!
It lays the foundation for the creation story and its understanding thru the full Gospel of the Kingdom in incredibly easy-to-understand terms.
I love the way the author immediately draws you in, lifts you up, and then has you feeling the power and glory of Jesus Christ before you even know it.
Excellent read—I highly recommend it for everyone as all the sons of Adam need to dwell in peace with God as they powerfully live out their days in the creation of our Lord Jesus.”
