The Book Of Genesis

[GateKeeper]

We begin with a basic overview of the course, touching on a number of crucial issues at the outset, creating almost a set of ground rules, as it were, for reading the book of Genesis. We will approach the text as literature, as history, and as theological treatise—all at once! Most importantly, we will attempt to understand the text in its original setting, reading it with the knowledge and worldview that an ancient Israelite would have brought to his or her reading of Genesis. Finally, in contrast to those scholars who carve up the text into separate sources, we will take a holistic approach to the text of Genesis.
