BIBL 604 - Biblical Theology: Genesis As a Starting Point

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Biblical Studies

Description:

An exploration of the theological themes of Genesis. Themes to be discussed include: creation, redemption, the nature of God, covenant, law, kingship, divine violence, righteousness, the people of Israel. These themes will be discussed in conversation with three perennial biblical theological issues: What was the author of Genesis trying to say theologically to his audience (historical dimension)? How did the author construct Genesis to communicate that theology (literary dimension)? and How do the themes of Genesis reverberate dynamically elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures and in New Testament (canonical dimension).
