Genesis, Where Myth & History Meet

There are no scheduled sessions at this time. Sign up to be notified when this course is available.

Whether Genesis of the Old Testament is read as a series of myths, a chronicle of history, or a blend of myth and history, its impact on the Christian and Muslim religions have been incalculable. In this course we'll look at the parallel sources of the accounts of the Creation. We'll examine the terms of covenant Abraham made with God on behalf of his people; at Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac, aborted by God; at the banishment of Hagar by Sarah. We'll look at the Joseph story, which contains clues about the reasons for their Jews' original migration to Egypt, as well as the motives of Pharaoh's wife for entrapping him. We'll come to understand Tamar, the abandoned wife of Judah.
