COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course aims to unlock the mysteries of Genesis by introducing the student to the Primordial and Patriarchal narratives in their historical context with an emphasis on literary structure, ancient Near Eastern context, theological concepts, and moral values. In particular, we will focus on creation, God’s image, theophany, messianic hope, sin, redemption, the enigmatic figure of Melchizedek, women in Genesis, and archeological evidence for Genesis. We will draw on the Hebrew Masoretic Text, ancient Jewish and Christian sources, and modern biblical scholarship in order to guide us in the task of interpretation and application.
