Ep. 46: In the Beginning...
Manage episode 313182059 series 3261168
"In the beginning..." Those words start a canon of theological writings that, in many ways, have defined the Western literary tradition since the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Genesis, the first book of the Torah and Bible, presents the story of beginning, both of the universe by the creative words of God, and of the Israelites as the book follows the lineage from Adam to Jacob (Israel) and his sons. For Christians, it can seem unsettling to read Scripture in the secular context of the university. This week, tune in to hear a discussion of how others have viewed that problem. (Note: Genesis can be found easily on the web. Here is one great website, BibleGateway, that offers numerous translations.)
