Unity and Diversity

God’s world is a creative order: all snowflakes are the same, and all snowflakes are different. All insects are insects, yet there were around 900,000 species of insect. All humans are humans, but no two humans are identical. Everywhere we look, the creation is a symphony of similarity and difference that is reminiscent of the trinitarian equal ultimacy of the one and the many.

—Christopher Watkin, Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture, 73
