One thing I would like to add to last week’s discussion is my take on Genesis one and two. I think the Genesis one account of creation of man/woman is to show that they are both created in the image of God and therefore equal to Him in worth and value. The Genesis two account with more detail I think is to show that although they are equal they are also different. I believe those two themes are consistent with the rest of Scripture. One other thing that came from the Genesis Flood book is the theory that the original creation had a world wide canopy of water that collapsed at God's command to bring the flood. This was a source of a great amount of water for the flood, and also could have allowed humans to live very long lives without ultra violent aging. Interesting theory.
This week:
- Your first paper is due. Email them to me, or bring to class.
- Let me know if your reading will be completed by Wednesday.
- The syllabus has been updated with the 2nd Edition OT Introduction page
- Think about sharing some of your Psalm readings into the prayer and worship time at 6:30 each week.
