Genesis 1-11 My mind began to fill with questions and thoughts as I read the first eleven chapters of the Bible (see list of questions after my paper please). It never ceases to amaze me that I can repeatedly read chapters of the Bible and learn or notice something fresh each study session. A number of unique things occurred to me this time through. The fact that the Tigris and Euphrates have actually been on earth since Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:14) amazed me. To think

literature. In The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Leiden Hymns we see not only this literary preoccupation with questions of divinity‚ but also stories and attitudes that foreshadow contemporary Abrahamic religions––Judaism‚ Christianity‚ and Islam. However‚ this is not to suggest that religion is so universal that there are not meaningful differences across time and cultures.

The Original Sin Throughout the book of Genesis‚ the serpent has been portrayed as the evil entity several times. The most evident example of this is the story of the snake telling Eve to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. She‚ in turn gives the fruit to Adam who also consumes it.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of earliest known pieces of literature. Through years of storytelling and translation‚ The Epic of Gilgamesh became a timeless classic. This story is believed to have originated from Sumerian poems and legends about the king of Uruk‚ Gilgamesh. Throughout the epic‚ many themes arose about women‚ love‚ and journeys and the one I would like to discuss is the theme of death. Also‚ I will discuss if Gilgamesh accepts morality at the end of the story and the development of

Gilgamesh Reading Response Upon finishing the book The Epic of Gilgamesh‚ i believe most people would have some strong feelings about the former king of Uruk. Although the majority of those feelings may include regurgitation‚ anger‚ and despise; I on the other hand would like to argue why Gilgamesh was a good guy. Of course Gilgamesh had his flaws‚ but if you could look past the senseless raping of his own women and the constant fear he placed in the hearts of his own people on a daily

The book of Genesis contains two accounts of creation that contrast in content. The first account of creation speaks about how God created the earth and describes what He created each day‚ but the second account primarily speaks about the creation and fall of Adam and Eve. The order in which things were created seems to be very different in both accounts. The creation of plants‚ vegetation‚ wild animals‚ and birds was mentioned in the first account before the creation of mankind was mentioned. God

The Epic of Gilgamesh: Transformation of Gilgamesh Rewrite Gilgamesh is a dynamic hero who transforms throughout the epic in four phases. The epic simply begins with Gilgamesh ruling the city of Uruk as an egotistical‚ self-centered tyrant. The gods observe Gilgamesh’s arrogance and send Enkidu to mentor him and teach him the value of people. After Enkidu and Gilgamesh prevail through the trials the gods sent them‚ they become too conceited and are punished for the transgressions. Due to his friend
