Genesis 1-2: a harmonised and historical reading by Peter Heavyside Pdf
Through a close examination of the scriptural text this book is a defence of the integrity of Genesis 1-2. While the book is set specifically against evolutionary creationist treatments of these chapters as dis-harmonised and non-historical, it nevertheless serves to explain why any liberal biblical critical handling of the early chapters of Genesis is faulty.
This commentary offers a synthesis of close readings of Genesis 1-11 and up-to-date study of the formation of these chapters in their ancient Near Eastern context. Each interpretation of these evocative and multilayered narratives is preceded with a new translation (with textual and philological commentary) and a concise overview of the ways in which each text bears the marks of its shaping over time. This prepares for a close reading that draws on the best of older and newer exegetical insights into these chapters, a reading that then connects to feminist, queer, ecocritical, and other contemporary approaches.
Few passages in the Hebrew Bible have been subject to more scrutiny than Genesis 1 and 2. In this volume, a diverse international team of experts guides readers through interpretations of the Genesis creation stories throughout history, inviting them to consider perspectives from the earliest times to the present. The book offers an accurate description of how these chapters have been read through the centuries, explaining each interpretive approach in its own terms. Each chapter includes sidebars and suggestions for further reading.
The Formation of Genesis 1-11 by David M. Carr Pdf
There is general agreement in the field of Biblical studies that study of the formation of the Pentateuch is in disarray. David M. Carr turns to the Genesis Primeval History, Genesis 1-11, to offer models for the formation of Pentateuchal texts that may have traction within this fractious context. Building on two centuries of historical study of Genesis 1-11, this book provides new support for the older theory that the bulk of Genesis 1-11 was created out of a combination of two originally separate source strata: a Priestly source and an earlier non-Priestly source that was used to supplement the Priestly framework. Though this overall approach contradicts some recent attempts to replace such source models with theories of post-Priestly scribal expansion, Carr does find evidence of multiple layers of scribal revision in the non-P and P sources, from the expansion of an early independent non-Priestly primeval history with a flood narrative and related materials to a limited set of identifiable layers of Priestly material that culminate in the P-like redaction of the whole. This book synthesizes prior scholarship to show how both the P and non-Priestly strata of Genesis also emerged out of a complex interaction by Judean scribes with non-biblical literary traditions, particularly with Mesopotamian textual traditions about primeval origins. The Formation of Genesis 1-11 makes a significant contribution to scholarship on one of the most important texts in the Hebrew Bible and will influence models for the formation of the Hebrew Bible as a whole.
The Deception of Theistic Evolution by Mark Allfree,Matthew Davies Pdf
This book examines the beliefs of theistic evolutionists from the perspective of the teaching of the Bible. It is demonstrated that theistic evolution is not consistent with the truth revealed in the Bible, and undermines a number of key Gospel doctrines including the nature and mortality of man, the origin of sin and death, and the inspiration of the scriptures.
John Rogerson traces the interpretation of Genesis 1-11 through to its present engagement with contemporary issues, before going on to examine the hermeneutical debate currently centred on the text, and to discuss it from the more familiar perspective of the historical-critical method, with particular attention to translation, source-critical and inter-literary questions.
This book is based on a solid commitment to the truth of God's revelation. We would not know how this world came into being unless God had told us. The sequence of events would remain a mystery without an accurate record of Creation. This book is a retelling of what God has said concerning our creation. The global nature of the first eleven chapters of Genesis reminds us of our insignificance, but on the other hand, the interaction of God with man reflects His assessment of our importance. We are made in God's image, and that is of great significance. The physical evidence for a cataclysmic destruction somewhere in the earth's history is evident in the rocks and fossils. The biblical record explains the reason, the cause, the duration, and the recovery from this great flood. The record of that year supplies answers to a host of geological questions that would otherwise remain hidden. Likewise, the anthropological insight the Babel event supplies is unparalleled in history. God's Word gives us answers to questions we didn't even know to ask. Finally, regarding our salvation-Genesis 12 provides us with the document signed by God that is the basis for our redemption. How do we participate in so great a salvation? Read and see.
The Bible is an inconvenient text. There are passages that are 'grey' rather than 'green'. These passages depict God or humans destroying or devaluing parts of creation. What if we dare to read these 'grey texts' from the perspective of the victims - Earth and the domains of Earth? How then would we relate to these de-valued parts of creation? And, how does this Gospel contribute to resolving this dilemma? Norm Habel has taught Old Tesatment in Australia, the USA and India. He has written major commentaries on the Book of Job and is editor of the Sheffield Press' Earth Bible Series.
Brill’s Companion to Greek and Latin Epyllion and Its Reception by Manuel Baumbach,Silvio Bär Pdf
In classical scholarship of the past two centuries, the term “epyllion” was used to label short hexametric texts mainly ascribable to the Hellenistic period (Greek) or the Neoterics (Latin). Apart from their brevity, characteristics such as a predilection for episodic narration or female characters were regarded as typically “epyllic” features. However, in Antiquity itself, the texts we call “epyllia” were not considered a coherent genre, which seems to be an innovation of the late 18th century. The contributions in this book not only re-examine some important (and some lesser known) Greek and Latin primary texts, but also critically reconsider the theoretical discourses attached to it, and also sketch their literary and scholarly reception in the Byzantine and Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Modern Age.
This fascinating and intelligent non-dogmatic study analyses the credibility of the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis, from a combined perspective of philosophy, theology and science. The stories of how the world began and the creation of humankind are scrutinised by the author in an attempt to convey an advanced and objective understanding for its readers. The author has no intention to convert or de-convert to or from the Christian faith, instead, he chooses to share his findings with readers who can them make up their own mind. To support his plausible findings, he has evidenced and referenced a wealth of resources, and extensively researched this highly debated and constantly evolving topic. The finely detailed content reflects his meticulous undertaking, and the results are thought-provoking, to say the least. Everything has been included in this absorbing piece of work, from insights into extra-terrestrial beings, the bible's contradictory take on incest, eternal hell, moral standards, reproduction and symbolism, to the notion of the Babel tower myth, the reality of the animals on Noah's ark, the inconsistency of the flood stories, and the 'real' image of God; and the content throughout is highly compelling.
