How To Read Genesis 1



In this 4 part series, John Walton and Skye Jethani take a closer look at Genesis 1 and try to understand how the Ancient Israelites would have understood the creation account. When we look at the text in the context that it was written in rather than imposing our modern questions onto the text, it radically changes the meaning of the creation story.


Episode List


Episode 1: What Question is Genesis 1 Answering? - John and Skye talk about how the Ancient Israelites would have thought about the world and how our modern questions about creation are often ones that the text is not trying to answer.


Episode 2: What Do Temples Have To Do With Genesis 1? - John and Skye talk about how Genesis 1 is actually a "Temple Inauguration" account and how that impacts the way we should interpret the text.




Episode 3: What About Other Interpretations of Genesis 1? - John and Skye talk about other common interpretations of Genesis 1 - what they get right and where they fall short. 





Episode 4: What About Other Old Testament Stories? - John and Skye take the lessons we learned about how to read Genesis 1 and apply them to other popular Old Testament stories that are often misinterpreted.

I had to prepare a research project in chemistry, and I was running out of time. I was looking for help on the Internet and found the college paper writer website. The site is very convenient and intuitive. Here I ordered the project writing. They offer different types of assistance, including writing, editing and even consulting. The project was completed at a high level and on time. This allowed me to successfully complete my courses and get a good grade. I am very happy to have found this site and recommend it to all my friends.
