“In the beginning, there was faith - which is childish; trust - which is vain; and illusion - which is dangerous.” (Wiesel). Within Elie Wiesel, there is faith and hope- or at least there was.

I am not going anywhere, that is what I immediately think to myself, but I am too…

Although the Egyptian cosmologies and the biblical text both have a superior being who creates the world, there are various differences in the cosmogony and its purpose, foundation of relationships, and the characteristics of God or gods that aid in understanding the biblical text through the Egyptian texts.

The Genre of…
