The main idea of the Genesis 1-3 Audio lecture is that there are four interpretations from different people that were incorporated into making the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, over time. Documentary hypothesis explains a theory that four different people worked to make these books of the Hebrew Bible, the Torah, over different time periods. One of the first interpretations was made by the J writer who wrote his interpretation in 400 BCE. He includes in his interpretation Lord God which he writes as the deity Yaweh in Hebrew, he depicts God in an anthropomorphic way, emphasizes geography by trying to specify where the garden is located, he puts emphasis on soil, and believes that humans become increasingly corrupt.

The third interpretation of the Bible was written by the D writer near 600 BCE, wrote most of the book of Deuteronomy and had a strong emphasis on prophecy.

The P writer incorporates a seven day timeline to include the Jewish tradition of the Sabbath. So Jesus rests on the seventh day, his words are very repetitive and relate to public worship held by priests, he shows God as transcendent, and he focuses on genealogies. The Priestly writer wrote his interpretation 400 years after the J writer. Keep in mind that the P writer did not take the J writer’s myth or his own interpretation literally. These stories were made to communicate the truth that God is a part of the creation of the world, but if this myth does not make sense to the reader, they can always read a different

Clearly, then, Trible retains a faith in the relevance of Genesis to women of our modern society. I think one may safely infer from this that she does not share Millet's harshly critical views on the text, at least not to so great an extent. Indeed, how could she--how could any intellectual in the 20th century--put
salvation. (Weider & Gutierrez, 2013) For Christians, morality is determined by studying and following God’s message in scripture. Right and wrong are determined by God and the only way to know it is by living by teachings of the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:14-17) Some people may believe that “right” and “wrong” are man-made concepts. Ultimately, we know that God is in control and is the only one who can determine what is morally correct. Man is not equipped with making such important declarations and therefore
Family and Religion Family and religion are tremendously changing from a point in time where family and religion controlled society to more so society controlling family and religion.

The creation story is covered in Genesis 1-2:3 where it states God made the Earth and everything on it in seven days. Genesis chapter two verses four through twenty-five talk about God creating Adam and then Eve from one of Adam’s ribs. The third chapter of Genesis tells of Adam and Eve decision to eat the fruit God forbid them to eat. That is the short and simple
According to the book of the Twelve Theories of Human Nature, there are two distinct theories of human nature in the study of the Bible. One is the Hebrew (or Judaic) theory of human nature and the second is the Christian theory. Although these two theories are found in our study of the Bible, Judaism and Christianity are not just simple theories, but they are living religions that depict and guide the lives of their specific believers. In addition, both theories are not attributable just to a single thinker
