Book excerpt: The Days of Creation examines the history of Christian interpretation of the seven-day framework of Genesis 1:1–2:3 in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament from the post-apostolic era to the debates surrounding Essays and Reviews (1860). Included in the survey are patristic, medieval, Renaissance/Reformation, eighteenth-century Enlightenment and finally early to mid-nineteenth-century interpretations of the days of creation. This study enables an insight into the mighty career of a biblical text of seminal importance, and fills a significant niche in reception-historical research.

Download or read book The Formation of Genesis 1 11 written by David M. Carr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See and celebrate the multilayered grandeur conveyed by the first chapter of Genesis The first chapter of the Bible's first book lays the foundation for all that follows about who God is and what God is like. Our technology-age fascination with the science of origins, however, can blind us to issues of great importance that don't address our culturally conditioned questions. Instead, Genesis One itself suggests the questions and answers that are most significant to human faith and flourishing. Geologist Gregg Davidson and theologian Ken Turner shine a spotlight on Genesis One as theologically rich literature first and foremost, exploring the layers of meaning that showcase various aspects of God's character: Song Analogy Polemic Covenant Temple Calendar Land Our very knowledge of God suffers when we fail to appreciate the Bible's ability to convey multilayered truth simultaneously. The Manifold Beauty of Genesis One offers readers the chance to cultivate an openness to Scripture's richness and a deeper faith in the Creator.
Download or read book The Quest for the Historical Adam written by William VanDoodewaard and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Adam really a historical person, and can we trust the biblical story of human origins? Or is the story of Eden simply a metaphor, leaving scientists the job to correctly reconstruct the truth of how humanity began? Although the church currently faces these pressing questions--exacerbated as they are by scientific and philosophical developments of our age--we must not think that they are completely new. In The Quest for the Historical Adam , William VanDoodewaard recovers and assesses the teaching of those who have gone before us, providing a historical survey of Genesis commentary on human origins from the patristic era to the present. Reacquainting the reader with a long line of theologians, exegetes, and thinkers, VanDoodewaard traces the roots, development, and, at times, disappearance of hermeneutical approaches and exegetical insights relevant to discussions on human origins. This survey not only informs us of how we came to this point in the conversation but also equips us to recognize the significance of the various alternatives on human origins. It also includes a foreword written by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. Table of Contents: 1. Finding Adam and His Origin in Scripture 2. The Patristic and Medieval Quest for Adam 3. Adam in the Reformation and Post-Reformation Eras 4. Adam in the Enlightenment Era 5. Adam in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries 6. The Quest for Adam: From the 1950s to the Present 7. What Difference Does It Make? Epilogue: Literal Genesis and Science?

Download or read book Genesis Beyond Sources written by Antony Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis Beyond Sources is a radical and groundbreaking book with a new approach to understanding the book of Genesis and the Pentateuch. It has two components. The first touches the whole of Genesis and affects much of biblical narrative text. The second is more scattered and comprises the major observations stemming from close work on Genesis and broader study of parts of the Pentateuch.The first component is a new approach to understanding Genesis that sets on its head the basic academic picture of the last few centuries. It is the first large scale alternative in English since source-critical analysis began. Its primary proposal is that the Bible text we have reflects not the END PRODUCT of the storytelling process but rather the BASE FROM WHICH STORYTELLERS BEGAN. A corollary is the claim made that the biblical text rather than stemming from continuous SOURCES reflects individual STORIES or TRADITIONS. Less a corollary than an observation is the move from the quest for HISTORY to the concern with MEANING. Meaning involves the nature of the biblical narrative text itself and concern for an understanding of human nature and the situation of life before God.Where there are different versions preserved of the same episode the texts do not have to be divided to provide a text for each source. In a USER-BASE approach, the storyteller (or appropriate intermediary) is free to choose one version and treat the other as a variant. Each version can be dealt with in its entirety, just as a story would be told in its entirety, and the text noting variant traditions. The observations of critical analysis separating one version from another are thus preserved. The fragmentation of critical analysis, distributing each version between continuous sources, is avoided.Before the invention of the printing press in fifteenth century Europe, manuscripts were hand-copied on treated skins (parchment), not paper. They were extremely expensive. Ordinary people did not have access to such costly items. Ordinary people HEARD the traditions from traditional repeaters, such as storytellers, theologians, and other intermediaries. They did not own them or read them.Three changes emerge regarding much biblical narrative text.i) It is not end product but the base from which to begin.ii) Its focus is not source but story or traditioniii) Its concern is less history than meaning and the exploration of human nature.There is no question that since Jean Astruc in 1753 the dismantling of the text we have, put together by compilers around the time of Israel''s major exile, has been focused on the reconstitution of the sources believed to have been used by these compilers (the sources: J, E, D, P). In this book, such dismantling can be done quite differently from the pattern of the past, with a shift of emphasis away from extensive chronological sources, extending in some cases from creation to Canaan, to an emphasis on individual stories capable of being easily committed to memory in an oral culture and varied according to the audience.Furthermore, the compiling of extended sources to form our biblical text was done on a chronological pattern, from the beginnings of Israel to near its end. Naturally, sources recovered by the academic fragmentation of the Bible text will reflect much the same chronological pattern. The trap that users have fallen into down the centuries is to assume that what is in chronological sequence reflects historyâwhich of course it need not. Individual stories do not engage the drive for history in the same way. Individual stories can be treated on their own merits and interpreted for the meaning they offer rather than being restricted to an historical framework. Equally a story that appears to relate to the beginnings of Israel may have great meaning for a period much closer to Israel''s end.The second component is not equally unified. Major aspects include the following.1) The discovery of the presence of El Shaddai (God Almighty) editing, evident and demonstrable within the text of Genesis 17â50, which reinforces the unlikely claim to the family unity of the early ancestors (ch. 7).2) The implication of this El Shaddai editing opens the way to pretty much the elimination of any significant P source before Exodus 25, the tent sanctuary, a text extending from Exod 25 to Num 10.3) After the book of Genesis, there are a number of issues in the Pentateuch that need to be highlighted, such as the event at the Sea, the two contrasting itineraries for Israel after that, the gift of the Law including the move to Canaan (Exod 19-24), and the extensive text associated with the tent sanctuary, Exod 25 to Num 10 (ch. 6).Chapter Six, "what next", looks at these: the duplication in the account of the deliverance at the Sea, the two itineraries reported for Israel, north-east to Canaan and south-east to Sinai, the block devoted to the law, with its promised journey to Canaan (Exod 19â24), and the text associated with the tent sanctuary, from Exodus 25 to Numbers 10.4) The presence within the text of Genesis of blocks that contribute surprisingly little insight into the reality of early Israel (see for example chs. 14-15, 34-36, and the latter part of the Joseph Story).5) The Joseph Story is a story of reconciliation within a dysfunctional family. It is best understood as a forerunner in Egypt rather than Assyria to diaspora literature (where faith goes beyond factâsee sections of Daniel, Esther, and Judith), therefore having almost nothing to do with the ancestral traditions associated with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These ancestral traditions are therefore limited basically to Genesis 12â33.An Epilogue seeks meaning for the whole and ponders the question: what is the nature of this significant block of text?
