S2E3: Difficulties in Creation as "Home"

In this episode, we continue our discussion regarding the creation account in Genesis. We start by addressing the concern of some that reading the Bible in its commonality with other ANE stories actually sheds the Bible of its distinctiveness. Then, we dive into the text of Genesis to show that its purpose was not material but functional; in other words, the creation account wants to portray a home and not just merely a house.

S2E2: House vs. Home

We kick off the season with a new series, "Reading the Beginning", where we will explore the creation account found in Genesis 1-2. The intent, however, is not merely to explore but to bring readers of the Bible to understand how the original recipients of this story would have understood it. We believe that by going back to how the creation account was designed to be understood, Christians will be able to avoid making false assumptions with regards to the story and, of course, to better understand the Bible. In the first episode, we discuss the terms "create" and "existence" to show how misleading our modern concept are when it comes to the creation account.
