Genesis

In “Genesis,” Adah sees past the illusion that the Congolese are a primitive subgenre of humans who are inferior to the Prices. Instead, she understands that the Congolese are the same as the rest of human civilization just with different cultures and traditions. When the Prices arrive in the Congo, Rachel and Nathan are shocked and disturbed by the Congolese not wearing clothes. As a result, Nathan angrily delivers a speech to the entire Congo to insult them for their nakedness and call them…

of the world and humanity. The myth exhibits many archetypal settings and greatly resembles the story of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. The differences between the two creation stories’ archetypal settings, however, illustrate the greatest difference between the two cultures; monotheism and polytheism. Both “The World on Turtle’s Back” and the Book of Genesis involve a tree that connects heaven to earth. In the Iroquois story, it is the “Great Tree… [that] had grown there forever…. The…

Reading Genesis chapters 1:1 – 2:3 I was amazed to find out that earth wasn’t something that was already in existence, but that earth was something created by Someone who was already in existence. The first chapter of Genesis starts off in verse one saying “In the beginning God” implying that he was there before all things. God is not only a master in creating but I learned in this narrative that he is also a master in designing. What really strikes me is that I am able to recognize one of God’s…

There are theories about Genesis being written by two different authors. The two Genesis creation stories help to support this theory. There are many aspects of the stories that show there are two different authors for the two stories. This paper will discuss these aspects of the stories and show the differences that help to support this theory. Both stories show the way God created the world, but each story have hints of different themes and authors. The first creation story is separated by…

fleeting and unimportant characters. However, within two stories there is more of a female presence, where woman is a representation of seduction and change. The Epic of Gilgamesh and “Genesis” are two of the most well-known stories documenting the beginning of man. The relationship of Adam and Eve, from “Genesis,” is similar to that of Enkidu and Shamhat the harlot in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Both women cause changes to occur within their male counterparts and both are the representation of…

Bowen’s Family Systems theory (BFST) attempts to explain human behavior as it relates to family dynamics and its complex interconnections. Reading Genesis chapters one through four, I identified four of eight BFST concepts that can be applied to “The First Family”: (a) triangles concept, (b) nuclear family concept, (c) emotional cutoff, and (d) sibling position. According to BFST, the triangle concept refers to three individuals that are in some way connected to each other, be it biological…

are described as inherently evil. When God creates the world, he sees that all he has made is good. (Genesis 1:31) God also creates humans, who God creates in his image, who are the only part of God’s creation…

In Genesis 3, the tree of knowledge has no point in the garden of Eden except to test Mankind. This could only have happened if they were to be tempted by the Snake which . If this is indeed the case, are God and the Snake are working together or even the same being? God must be coordinating with the Snake in order to test Mankind’s obedience to Him. I came to this conclusion when after carefully reading the text, I could find no purpose for the tree other than to be a test for Mankind. Placing…

than God’s feelings and sensations about the sacrifice on the altar or further commentary on Moses’ actions. Another that is similar to this is when God tells Noah not to consume blood (Coogan, David, Zvi, Newsom, Perkins, pg. 22). This section in Genesis of the Bible focuses on the offerings to God and why Noah should obey his command. There are several verses of God speaking to Noah telling him what is to become of him and his descendants. Although Tales of Patriarch tells this story as well,…
