    The literary form and genre of the book of Genesis is prose: biblical and historical narrative. Biblical narratives in Genesis show that “God is active in His world” and these narratives typically “chose certain events to reveal God.” For instance, this element is apparent when the Angel of the Lord speaks to Hagar, granting her the promise of descendants (Gen 16:10). In the same manner, this element is reinforced in subsequent chapters (Gen 17:19; 18:10). In describing this book, it is significant to note that most of the characters in the narrative are flawed.…

    As Christians, we have been called to serve as stewards and to watch over the creation that God has made and called “good.” We are not to take advantage of the rest of creation, rather we are to treat the earth and the non-human creators in a way parallel to the way God rules over everything (Bartholomew and Goheen, p. 33, 35). Our worldview based on Genesis helps us as Christians view the earth and the rest of creation in an appropriate way. Instead of saying that the way we treat the earth doesn’t matter or putting the earth above everything else, we as Christians have directions from God Himself on how we should view and treat creation. As humans, we are to rule over the nonhuman parts of God’s creation, but we are to do this under God, in the way that He rules over us, not under our own laws and ideas, but rather in the way that…

    Class, I believe that the characterization in Genesis 1-3 are accurate of our human nature. I actually think it is beautiful to see the way that from the beginning God gave us free will, and that free will still remains the same today, but we have recieved an advocate, Jesus. Being fully human and prone to sin, instead of having to fear what my sin could do to my relationship with God I can turn back to Him and be fully accepted just as I am. Adam and Eve were no different than we are in the sence that they had free will, and they chose to turn away from God and sin.…

    The book of Genesis from the Holy Bible starts off with the story of creation. This particular version of the Holy Bible was authorized by King James the first, during the colonization of the New World. This passage from Genesis reveals powerful, commonly held interpretations not only about God, but also about the relations between male and female and between the human race and the universe. God, a deity hovering over a desolate and watery void created the world by commanding it to fill the darkness with light, as God stated “Let there be light: and there was light” . Over the course of seven days God filled the earth with: terrain, vegetation, atmosphere, and living creatures.…

    The Benefits of Bible Quiz As Christian raised children finish elementary school and graduate to middle school and high school, they may find that they would rather spend time with their friends or have free time than reading and studying the Word of God. Having grown up in Sunday School learning Bible stories like Jonah and the Whale and Daniel in the Lion’s Den, many young adults think they know all about the Bible. However, the Bible contains many more stories and ideas not taught in Sunday School that help us as we grow. We cannot get by on basic Bible stories that we have heard over and over again.…
