No centro desta obra, encontra-se uma doutrina de Deus que documenta, em estreita relação com a Bíblia e, principalmente, com Jesus de Nazaré, o interesse de Deus pelos seres humanos.

Dessa maneira, o autor aponta uma saída sólida do estreitamento no pensamento judeu-cristão sobre a criação, um estreitamento novamente atual.
