Main Topic: Gen 1-11
First among the logical division of the Pentateuch, the so-called Primeval History narrates the beginning of the Cosmos in general, Man and Sin in particular. Focus will be directed to the literary characteristics of these chapters since they offer the best route in understanding the first division of the Pentateuch.
Specific Topics:
A. Gen 1-11 as ‘myth’;
B. Creation Narratives in Gen 1-2;
C. The Sin and Fall of Man in Gen 3;
D. Humanity from Adam to Abram: Gen 4-11.
Note: Any of the major biblical commentaries on Gen 1-11 can serve as supplementary bibliography to this chapter (e.g. NIB, JBC, Anchor Bible Series)
