Begin at Home: As a clown I deal in the business of laughter. I have worked professionally…

In Judaism, the cosmology is told in the book of Genesis, the first book of the Torah. Genesis tells the creation story twice, in Genesis chapter one and two, but with each time it is told with a new focus (Sacks, 2004, 78). The first chapter of Genesis gives a full, over-all story of the creation of the heavens and the earth and man’s position within it. In the second chapter of Genesis, the story focuses of the creation of man and the result in God creating woman. The third chapter tells the…

Redemption There are many ways the book of Genesis has signified the theme of redemption. Redemption is the act of a person or god in which he/she is taking a wrong doing and turning it into something right. In the earliest part of the book of Genesis, Eve took the apple from the serpent and Adam and Eve consumed it. They both have sinned and established a wrong doing in front of God. God then asks them in verse eleven “Have you eaten from the tree of witch I commanded you not to eat?” God said…

never heard of that coming from science before. I knew that there had to be some similarities because in most arguments, there seems to be at least one thing that matches up, but I had never even heard of there being an Adam and Eve in science. (Genesis 1…

Out of the readings from the book Parallel Myths, a book sampling the Hindu scriptures, I have picked four selections to write about below. The first selection is The Thoughts of Brahma, which is about how Brahma created the world. The next is The Virtue of Compassion which is a story meant to teach a lesson about loyalty. The Third is The King, The Hawk, and the Pigeon which is another story about teaching a lesson, this one though is about keeping your word. The Last is How Rudra Destroys the…

There are a multitude of similarities and differences featured in both the Egyptian and the Genesis creation myth. In each creation myth both include many similarities. Firstly, both stories are about creation. Also, both stories have similar ways as to how their god created the first person or god. In the Genesis creation story it states that, “God formed man out of the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being”. A quote from the…

character Cain. There are some distinct similarities in the characteristics of both characters. “God curses Cain, making him “a fugitive and wanderer on the earth’ (Genesis 4:14)” ( ______ 62). While Cal in East of Eden walks wanders around at night, unable to sleep. While Cain offers God the fruit that he has cultivated and harvested (Bible: Genesis 4:3), Cal gives his father the monetary fruit of the labor that Will Hamilton and Cal had done with the bean industry (Steinbeck 542).

“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel -‘Thou mayest’ that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world,” cried Lee, a character in East of Eden, by John Steinbeck (add citation). Timshel originates from the biblical story of Cain and Abel. The passage in which Lee is speaking, refers to God’s words regarding Cain’s actions. In the Hebrew text, God utilizes the word “timshel” to unveil to Cain that he holds the personal authority to surpass evil, if he chooses to do so.…
