Essays on Genesis

The dictionary is a very useful book in any area of study; it provides the definition needed by students or any person who has an interest in any field of study. It provides the right reference now only to words but also some issues that need clarification. There are very few bible dictionaries; however, most of them are not detailed and just give a highlight and simple definitions without t making in-depth explanation.
The Bible Dictionary is written by John .Davis and who is a professor of Semitic Philology and the Old Testament History. The Bible Dictionary is very ...

Many Christians are confused on whether God’s covenant is conditional or unconditional of the present life and future response of its recipients. In his work Covenant Conditionality and a Future for Israel, Ronald Pierce gives a comprehensive explanation of this. First, the covenants given by God differ in the explicitness of their confidentiality. For Abraham, it is argued that there is an overt rationale for God’s promise, wherein God pronounces His blessing upon Abraham if he does his part. In Genesis 12 and 17, God commands him to leave his country so that he may receive his ...

- This quote is found in the book “Genesis” of The Bible. This quote is important because Noah saved natural beings from being destroyed by coming into favor with God. The latter was angry at humanity for not following His divine plan. On one hand, this reveals God’s ...

The term ‘covenant’ simply means ‘agreement’. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the term covenant appeared several times, but most of the said appearances are in Genesis and Exodus. The connection that God wanted to establish with his people, primarily those who trusted him fully could be seen to have been established on the capacity of the said individuals to respond to the laws and policies that come alongside the desire of gaining his approval. In Genesis, a distinct covenant described in this book was that of God’s covenant with Abraham. This covenant indicates God’s promise of giving Abraham ...

In both Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis 6-8, sin subdued the world. Human being had greatly multiplied his evils by rejecting the ways of God and following their own pleasures. God did not like the situation on earth and He sought to terminate the evil deeds that filled the earth with the flood (Sailhamer 314). In both Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis account, God destroyed the first world using water. In both accounts, the description made tend to be similar. According the Epic, God instructed Gilgamesh to build an ark to save the world from destruction whereas in the ...

Skeptics are of the opinion that the account of the floods that destroyed nearly everything on earth given in Genesis is actually a modified description of the original story given in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet XI. As far as the dates are concerned, while the Gilgamesh epic is said to have been penned before 2000 BC, the dating of Genesis has been placed by scholars between 1500 BC and 500 BC (Deem 1). This indicates that the Genesis’ flood myth could have indeed been sourced by Biblical authors from the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. As a result, the ...

The book of Genesis begins with the creation of the cosmos from nothing by a supernatural deity. Creation is the core theme of the book of Genesis and the preternatural beings and objects are attributed to a supreme being. The natural realm exists in the physical universe whereas the metaphysical realm exists outside the common dimension of time. The intelligence design of the universe is attributed to a supernatural being. The book of genesis attempts to give a succinct explanation of the origin of the universe.
Moses, the author, focused on the natural universe and did not bring his ...

Article Review

God’s covenant between Abraham and David are often speculated as conditional or unconditional. Given that there was a form of agreement between God and Abraham or David, the promise of land was considered conditional. God speculated that Abrahamic or Davidic lineage would be blessed through getting future land depending on the loyalty of the people to God. This paper will examine both Davidic and Abrahamic covenants made by God and the land grants that go hand in hand with these covenants.
The covenant between God and Abraham is outlined in Genesis 15 and 17 in that the term ‘ ...

THE ESSENTIALS TRUTHS IN LIFE

Introduction: Having a Right Worldview
In today’s society, many people have significantly lost definitions. Men and women do not know what exactly they believe and even why they believe so. Many simply go along with the “tide” of secular and common knowledge. Having knowledge of the truth is a necessary thing in life. If truth should be relative of different persons and societies, there will be a chaos. For instance, the society’s lack of absolute position/stand in matters of homosexuality, divorce, and abortion has brought significant political and social conflicts. Moreover, knowledge of truth is necessary to ...

A critical analysis of the paintings of the Tower of Babel directly suggest the perspective of the both the translation and labor that refer to the utopian spirit of social critique as well as to the resistance to the authority. The art paintings appear to embody an expectation of a multiplicity of tongues as a result of the harsh judgment from the Supreme Being. The Tower of Babel may not be a realized vision. It can be understood in an angle where the Utopian ideal was to be discovered. The Utopian discourse was presented in a manner that allowed ...

Introduction: Overview

Many comparisons exist in Genesis's and Babylonian stories. In these stories, one Supreme Being created humankind and explains how everything on the face of the earth came into existence. Moreover, they also set up their calendars and describe examples of evil within each of these stories to guide man towards living a fruitful life. The Babylonian myth informs us that the god, Marduk, created humankind from the blood of another god known as Kingu. ``By blood, I will compose and bring a skeleton into being, and from it, produce a lowly primitive creature by the name ``man’’ (Walter Reinhold, ...

Introduction

The creation story in the book of Genesis is one of the most fascinating stories ever told. Genesis chapter 1-3 gives an account of the creation story and it is explicitly on the issues of the creation. Many people have had conflicts when it comes to interpreting the creation story in the bible. Scientific evolution theory and the creation story have to say the least created some conflicting in understanding from different quarters. Scientists believe that creation was through evolution from some stages while mainstream Christians disagree saying God is the ultimate creator. The ecological system and the issues ...

The scriptures lead the readers into understanding the way God makes himself known to his people. In the past God could reveal himself to his people like in the case of Adam, in (Gen. 2: 8). It also applied to Abraham and other prophets who are well known to his day. But many are the instances where he continuously reveals himself through nature and natural happenings just as Paul says in (Romans 1: 20). He therefore manifests himself in very many forms from revealing himself through a person or through his creation. He has always been in control but ...

Every vocation has its own foundation. As for the vocation of chaplaincy, its foundation is anchored on the Bible, and the interpretation of the words in the holy book. Although there are many relevant words from the bible, only the words expressed in Genesis 1:26-27 will be discussed this essay. The vocation of chaplaincy borrows a lot from Genesis 1:26-27; it gives an understanding of man’s uniqueness, and God’s plan to redeem man to a new creation made in his likeness.
For many centuries, Christians have held onto the belief that man is created in the image ...

A good number of people are familiar with the Biblical Genesis flood narrative, but they probably are not aware of how similar it is to flood myth in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The similarities between the two flood accounts are quite stark. The biggest thing that makes them so alike is their main theme. Then again, the smaller details of the events that occur in both stories are considerably different. The parallels between both narratives have also been recognized by secular scholars. However, others simply label these connections as nothing but shared mythology (Graves). The question remains: Is the ...

Arguably, most of the various Biblical teachings about women stems from the genesis. The Book of genesis laid a tremendous foundation on how women should be treated and behave in society, Notably, a woman was created after a man was already created. The book of genesis asserts that a woman was created from the rib of a man. It does not matter whether we analyze or interpret the creation story in Genesis critically, figuratively, or literary’; the main intention of for women and men is clearly spelled by god. Based on biblical view, the Bible has various evidence into ...

Most religious men have their own favorite figure in the Hebrew bible. Just like me, I love to read and learn more about my famous biblical personality. The reason for this is that I am often reminded by His deeds and how I had wished I would know more about Him. To me, my prominent personality can be a model to anyone who thinks of Him accordingly. The one I will talk is none other than the one mentioned by all of God’s humble servants – whether they are as friends (II Chronicles 20:7; Exodus 33:11; Isaiah 41:8), kings ( ...

A creational myth is defined as a symbolic narrative that explains the beginning of the world and how human beings came into existence in the universe. A myth is considered a certain belief towards something associate with a particular culture. The human culture consists of the creational myths, which in most instances, they develops from the oral traditions making them to have multiple versions.

Introduction

The creation theory is vividly explained in the first book of the bible. Through a keen eye, one cannot help but see the contradiction from the two chapters. Chapter one of genesis adduces that human beings were created after all the animals. Chapter one of the book of Genesis also contends that man and woman were created simultaneously. In utter contradiction, chapter two of the same book, Genesis, offers that the first man was created before the animals. The chapter also adds that the first woman was created from the man’s rib after the animals were created. The ...

With so much slender, grace and beauty, magnificence, and effortlessness starts the Genesis explanation of Creation. However, an examination of Genesis chapter 1 is not really as easy and direct as an interpretation that would seem to be quite comfortable. Modern recognizing of biblical cosmogony (meaning understanding of how it started) in Genesis 1can be viewed by a group of experts as being extremely complicated, divided among the literal and the non-literal. This paper will concisely explain some of the interpretations, and then evaluate all of them in the information of the biblical information.
Those that are scholars, who ...

Introduction

This essay seeks to analyze the subject of death in two epical stories. It is based on the critical analysis of the epic of Gilgamesh and the book of Genesis in the Bible with regards to the issue of death. The theme of death in both Genesis and Gilgamesh takes the form of the protagonists' realization of their own mortality, which is attributed to disobedience in both narratives. Gilgamesh falls asleep although instructed to remain awake. This is similar to the case of Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. Having witnessed both Enkindu and his flower dying, Gilgamesh ...

What is the Book of Jubilees?

The Book of Jubilees is an ancient religious text which is not part of the Bible but which is deemed to be an apocryphal text which actually covers most of the Ground of the Genesis book in the Bible. It does differ substantially from what we find in the authorative text and tackles certain aspects rather differently. A typical example would be the incestuous relationship that one may find between the son of Adam and Eve, Cain and his wife which is not the case in the Bible but which makes for rather interesting reading.
Basically the Jubilees covers ...

It’s a vast argument between Egyptologists and other writers, whether Bible is an ancient scripture inspired by Egyptian Mythology. There are so many sources available to show us the resemblance between Genesis 1 and Ancient Egyptian creation myths, especially the process of the creation of world. As it is said in Genesis; God created the world in six days and kept the seventh day for rest. In the same way in Egyptian myth, God had created the world in six days and rested for the seventh day. The order, in which the creations had been made, too has ...

Charles Darwin published his masterpiece detailing his theory of evolution by natural selection, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life in 1859. Despite the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community, there are still loud and politically active Creationists that insist that the earth is less than 10,000 years old because the Bible says so. However, the Bible never actually states how old the universe or the earth is. Belief that there is a Creator and in the theory of evolution are compatible for followers ...

Response Paper 3: Wild Seed

Power dynamics is essential in understanding myth as most mythological stories depict power dynamics not only in the stories themselves – in their context, in their characters, and their story cycles – but also in the message being portrayed by the story and even by the background of the author who writes the story.

For example, in Wild Seed, the author Olivia Butler is a female African author and this in itself tells something about power dynamics or the shift thereof. This is as highlighted by Thaler who pointed out that myth-making and science fiction used to be a white genre ( ...

Abstract
Intimacy issues in marriages have been in the forefront of many psycho-social-spiritual circles recently. In addition, intimacy issues and barriers have just started to be analyzed psychologically, sociologically, physically, and spiritually in the psychoanalytic literature. Qualitative and longitudinal studies are giving way to new theories and thoughts on why the 21st century marriage has so many barriers to intimacy and how these barriers become ingrained in an individual’s psyche. These studies show that from birth to death, the human capacity to remember definitive moments that will forever change the outcome of an individual’s life, whether consciously ...

Portfolio of Creation Myths (182-191)
Question 1
Different myths have different images to represent their creator gods. For instance the Native American narrative of creation uses the spider woman as the god responsible for the creation story. In the same way, the Australian society presented in this excerpt upholds the fact that life emanated from the emu egg (Ford 185). One similarity that exists in the way that the creator gods are presented is that they have extra-ordinary power to be able to accomplish the creation task. It is also evident from each of the stories presented that the ...

Reflection Paper: Grace and God’s Power

Introduction
The present paper discusses grace and God’s power in a Christian context. Power is an English construct that stands for authority or might. In human relationships, power refers to the authority that one person holds over another. In many cases, however, the Bible uses “power’ in relation to God’s authority. God’s power refers to His sovereign nature over all that exists, such that no one can resist His will or thwart His purpose. It means that He has absolute authority over creation. Grace, on the hand, is closely associated with favor and mercy. Through grace, ...

Introduction

Covenant refers to a mutual agreement between two people that carries a pledge or promise for the future. One of the most important themes of Hebrew Bible is a covenant between the almighty God and His people or followers. In biblical interpretation, the word covenant contains more underlying meanings than a simple contract or agreement between two people. Derived from the Hebrew word ‘berith’, a covenant is "an agreement enacted between two parties in which one or both make promises under oath to perform or refrain from certain actions stipulated in advance" (Mendenhall and Herion 1 :1179). The word ‘ ...

Introduction

Archeology has helped scholars to reconstruct the story of the Bible from its utopist genesis to epic battles and struggles of the patriarchs of Israel. Archeologists have found evidence of the kingdoms, kings, temples and the people of Biblical times. Archeological excavations have corroborated some biblical events, contradicted others while entirely dismissing the occurrence of others because of the absence of archeological evidence and logical proof (Finkelstein & Silberman 15). This paper will examine the existing archeological evidence in relation to the biblical accounts of the Exodus and the life of Jesus in Early Rome. The paper will analyze two ...

God created human beings to work, and He has authority over humans to perform duties to the extent they are capable. In the first book of the Bible, God creates work into the real meaning of humanity. He creates human beings in his own image, and God himself is a worker. He places Adam in the garden of Aden for the reason of working it. In different parts of the scripture, God commands humans to work to their level best. Work carries on through to the end of the Bible. Having been created in the image of God, accountants ...

Genesis

The book of Genesis in the Bible, majorly explains about the origin the Earth and man. It gives a chronological story of how God used six days to come up with the world and all that dwells in it. However, the book of Genesis does not give the historical context of God. It just traces the first words God\ during creation of the Earth and its inhabitants. A reader remains wondering how God came into existence. A super human being, very powerful, is creating human beings in his image. Although this may be true, the book of life does ...

Introduction

The story of creation is one of the most compelling and intriguing issues that has yet to be concluded. Public opinion is divided in resolving the age-long conflict of the young-earth old-earth dilemma. Even in the field of secular science, a consensus could not be reached. The age of the earth has remained a paradox that, until today, both biblical scholars and scientist are struggling to explain. Predating even the earliest human civilization, man can only speculate what may have happened billions or thousands of years ago. In order to explain man’s very own existence, creation theories ...

The Bible has a huge role in the development of social ethics. It is an indispensable source of Christian faith as it witnesses to Christ. It is important to analyze and study sexuality critically in the context of various biblical texts. There is a high distinction on peripheral and central aspects of human sexuality in the Old Testament. Such distinction is arrived at by differentiating descriptive ancient cultural values from God's will.
In the biblical time, in Israel, biblical texts described the cultural, social, psychological and historical conditions of people. These factors are put into context as they relate ...

Bible Interpretation Using Various Types of Critical Disciplines

Introducing the old Testament
The Bible can be interpreted using various types of critical disciplines. This is done through interpretation and explanation that is critical of text especially texts of religion. In ancient times the term exegesis, which is the critical expansion and understanding of the religious text, was the primary interpretation of the Bible. Therefore, “Biblical exegesis” is applied in a wider context in the religious text. Exegesis is a combination of a broader perspectives that are critical and disciplines. When we focus on biblical textual criticism, the inquiry of the history and originality of the text, sometimes ...

The journal article “the image of God” was written with the purpose of revealing a number of things. Among these things is the scarcity and brevity with which the Old Testament has referred to the doctrine stated as the image of God. Consequently, the scarce and brief reference has been made in such versus as Genesis 1:26, Genesis 5:2 and Genesis 9:6. Therefore, the author came up with the journal as a way of highlighting the importance that the doctrine bears, which is beyond all proportion, in relation to the laconic treatment that the doctrine receives in Old Testament. ...

God created everything in the universe. His bliss, many graces and great signs surround us. Heaven, the Earth, space and stars are such great creations. After God fashioned the universe, he decided to create humanity. He ordered them to worship Him and to follow His commands, but some of them fell from His grace because of their disobedience. He sent prophets to guide them, but the people did not believe or heed the prophets’ words. ...

The Book of Genesis is the first book listed in the Old Testament as well as in the Hebrew Bible. It includes the stories of the world’s creation, the people’s exile from the Paradise, the stories about the Great Flood and Babel Tower and many others.

Abstract and Introduction

Ethics is one of the oldest fields of studies. Its roots can be traced back to as early as the time of the ancient western civilizations. In this study, we try to answer several questions about the correlation and importance of the genesis of knowledge (about ethical theories and thoughts, in the western civilization) and of history, in the present day study of ethical thoughts and theories. The author of this paper has developed the notion that ethics (and morality for that matter) is a continuously evolving field of study, and is therefore a product of evolution; and this ...

There are many strange similarities between ancient texts of different cultures. Within these narratives, there are different trappings, but many of the stories remain eerily similar across cultural boundaries; within The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Old Testament of the Bible, for instance, there are a number of different stories that are remarkably similar. The story of Gilgamesh and the plant of eternal life is very similar to the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. However, perhaps the most similar of the stories contained within the Gilgamesh epic and the Old Testament of the Bible ...

Close Reading: Analysis of The Story of Abraham (Genesis chapters 15-22)

“Fear not, Abram: I am a shield to thee, thy reward very much.” (Genesis15:1).
The above verse sums up the entire paragraph where God seems to use vision as the platform to convey his message to Abraham. In his dream, Abraham had God telling him that he would never go back on his promise to reward or save those who believed in him. While Abraham was protecting his kingdom with all his heart and soul, he knew he was doing a service to God. He was so much involved in the protection of his subjects, that he hardly had ...

According to the MacMillan dictionary, an animal is “any living thing that is not human.” Accepting this definition as fact, there should be no debate whether or not humans are animals; as I argue this fact I will present further proof that at no time since the world exists humans were ever animals.
The fact that many scientists refused to accept the Bible as authentic, has caused many debates about humans’ origin. Many scientists believe that humans are an evolvement from a one cell organism and over many millions years of changing they finally become human. The more scientists ...

The term Covenant

The word covenant has its roots in the Hebrew term “berit”, which literally means to fetter or to bond. When this word was translated into Greek, it became “syntheke”, which literally means “tying together”. The word covenant is prominently used in the Bible, in referring to various agreements, especially agreements between God and man, God and a community as well as man and man. Although the words covenant and testament are used in the same breath, covenant, as used in the Bible, refers more to the agreements between God and the Jews. The covenants involving God are theologically referred ...

The Book of Genesis, chapters 37-50 in the Old Testament of the Bible reveal that the life of Joseph contains a lesson from God regarding how we Christians must approach our lives in general, especially when it comes to our work and vocation. There are many ways of approaching work and vocation, we may be ambitious about it or disappointed it by, many times we may succeed in it and many times we may fail.
Throughout chapters 37-50 of the Book of Genesis, Joseph came across numerous people and scenarios; however, his attitude towards them always remained consistent. Whether ...

Although the modern United States is known as a secular society with separation of church and state, the role of faith and churches remains strong within its citizens. That the role of the church remains strong with society would likely surprise late 19th century philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, who seemed to believe Christianity would disappear altogether in favor of the newer developments and explanations provided by science and philosophy. Throughout the 20th century and ever since, the secular nation of America has produced millions of astounding innovations, vast scientific progress, and advances in civil rights. It has been ...

Everyone is quite familiar with the Mission of Christ in the world when God has sent Him to save mankind from all sin and become the Messiah. However, if one is asked about what God’s Mission is to the world; many often speculate this as they are uncertain of His Mission for mankind and for the world He has created. Many noted that God’s faithful Mission is to watch over us and teach us His Will, but there ...

In Tom Paine’s “What I Believe,” he uses a number of rhetorical devices to get his audience to agree with him on his point that tolerance must be lent to those who share different religious beliefs. These devices convince the audience of Paine’s authority and the validity of his arguments. At the same time, Stanton’s “The Book of Genesis from The Women’s Bible” creates a much more extreme argument, using rhetoric to claim that her opinion is more valid than the opinion of her opponents. In this paper, we will examine both rhetorical techniques and ...

Creole and Cajun cuisines are largely differing if looked into deeply in various relevant perspectives. However, if plainly examined and related to, the two modes of cooking are highly inter-related.

The two cuisines bear their genesis in terms process and ingredients to the French cooking techniques. As such, the two processes have their culinary effects both in France, though not entirely. Basically, the two culinary processes and ...

I started off my research by doing a random search on the internet because I wanted to have a wide view and research on the topic. But it was not at all easy because I did not have a direct lead to the subject because I had to go through books, journals and blogs in order to decipher what was directly related to my subject. This kind of research narrative is open ended and would be better if it was narrowed down to a specific topic or entry.
