don’t believe either the Biblical Maximalists or Biblical Minimalists are correct; the bible is not completely historically accurate‚ nor is it completely inaccurate. The bible‚ especially Genesis‚ may be based on some historical occurrences‚ but is exaggerated and includes untrue stories. I think stories in Genesis were created‚ based on some historical events to provide explanations to how and why we were created. The explanation couldn’t be disproven at the time‚ but now with Darwinism and the big

Even literature as diverse as The Epic of Gilgamesh‚ Genesis’ Creation and Fall‚ and Beauty and the Beast share similar significance within the situational archetype of “The Fall.” These three works have been developed from different cultural perspectives and timeframes‚ but yield a comparable plot pattern

As the Torah says‚ "When the boys grew up‚ Esau became a skillful hunter‚ a man of the outdoors; but Jacob was a homespun man‚ keeping to the tents" (Genesis 25:27). The Hebrew rendered here as "homespun" is tam‚ the same word used for the "simple son" of the Passover Haggadah‚ the one who doesn’t know how to ask. The word can also mean "blameless‚" "upright‚" "mild‚" or "perfect."1 Jacob is anything but

The three big points that show their similarities is the choosing of a rightous man by God to build a flood‚ God punishing the world because of their wickedness‚ and the resemblence of the two arks.

To the woman he said‚ “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband‚ and he shall rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16) In the scripture God dictated a punishment to the women. At the moment of laboring a child the women are to suffer a lot of pain. Also we can see how God sentenced the women to submit to their men.
