If you are interested in an introduction to the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, why not start at the beginning? This class will examine the two creation stories found in Genesis One and Genesis Two.
When you purchase this digital learn-at-your-own-pace option, you will receive a link to an online learning platform. Through this platform, you will be able to view the lessons. The program is divided into 4-weekly sections and each contains a number of lessons. With your purchase, you will receive the first week's lessons. Then, every seven days, you will receive the next set of lessons. The fourth week of this program is a bonus multi-generational hands-on learning curriculum.
You will hear the stories, learn about them from scholars who research them in depth, and have the opportunity to reflect on them from your own experience and tradition.
Would you like to study with a group? Try one of these options:
Through each section, you will learn about the context of the stories. When and where were the stories first told? Who was the audience? Why are there two creation stories? We will look at the similarities and differences in the stories and discuss their importance for the audience in which they were each written. This will lead us to reflect a bit more deeply on their value for today's reader.
There will be time for you to reflect on your own perspective of these stories and look at them in light of the first eleven chapters of Genesis. Each of us brings a bit of ourselves to its reading and it rewarding to see how our own life situation enriches the reading of story.
