HUM 946 - Genesis: the Beginnings

1.5 Credit(s)

Key concepts of the Judeo-Christian culture find their roots in Genesis whose composition consists of both early and late writing. The Hebraic traditions of the creation of the universe and of human beings, the relationship between the Creator and the created, the relationship of human with human, and the early experience of one people are explored. The book provides insight into the strivings of people who in their humanity respond to what they regard as the revealed Word of God. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are indebted to the book.
