In Acts 17:26, Luke, inspired by the Spirit of God, records Paul proclaiming to the people of Athens that God “made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place.” This was part of a larger explanation from the apostle as to the reality that everyone, everywhere, is expected to utilize the natural gifts granted to them by God to make their way to a saving faith in him and the propitiation he would provide. This imperative, to inhabit all of the earth, is one which predates the sinful need of man for salvation, though, for we see even in the pristine, Edenic state of Adam and Eve a command from God for humanity to “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Gen 1:28b) Again, at Babel, we encounter a God in the act of dispersing the species after narrowly escaping the judgment of the Flood through God’s grace towards Noah and his family (Gen 11:1-9). God, it seems, is intent on having people all over the face of the globe. A natural consequence of this diversity in locales is the development of distinct people groups into national and ethnic identities. This process of ethnogenesis is one which has occupied anthropologists and sociologists for decades as they seek to understand how and why people become the distinct groups that they are. Theology, though, is the realm of the “why”, and while Genesis 11 and Acts 17 point to a portion of this why of ethnic diversity on the globe being that of a basis by which persons will pursue their creator, there is still the matter of the intention behind a sinless being also being directed towards a diverse inhabitation of the earth. A survey of cultural, philosophical, and religious elements that comprised the Sitz im Leben of the framers of the Creed, the proposed paper will show how the framework they constructed for the presentation and defense of orthodox faith in Christ demonstrates a portion of the purpose behind the mind of God creating human diversity.
