Cain and Abel, The Great Flood, and Noah’s Arc

Babel and the Beginning of Civilization

Lineage of Abraham Judaism and Christianity (along with Islam) are considered Abrahamic religions, in that they trace their common origin to Abraham.

Theogony of Genesis GOD Adam Eve Cain Abel Seth Eve: the day or period of time immediately before an event or occasion seven generations Noah Shem Ham Japheth eight generations Israelites Abraham Canaan & Cush & Put & Mizraim Nimrod (Babel) Casluhim Philistines Hammurabi: from Akkadian “Ammur ā pi,” meaning "the kinsman is a healer”

Portrayals of Genesis Metaphysical (Origin of Cosmos) : Religious (Poly- Mono- theistic) : Social/Political (Hierarchy of Power) : Social/Political (Patri- Matri- archy) : Axis mundi (World Axis) : Anthropological (Origin of Man) : Environmental (Explanation of Natural) : Psychological (Psyche/Archetypes) : Morality (Values/Good v. Evil/Purpose of Man) : Void and Omnipotent God Monotheistic Unchallenged Supreme Ruler Patriarchy Babel / Babylon Man and Woman created by God, and/or (Woman created from Adam by God) Earth is a creation of God Hero/Journey, Light/Dark, Virgin Birth, the tree, the Father, the Serpent, Haven/WIld, Savior, etc. Rule over natural world; Obey God’s will, seek redemption through faith

ArchetypeMetaphorical Meaning light/darknessOrder from Chaos Adam/Eveinteraction of opposing forces (dualities) that are the building blocks of everything Virgin Birthself-contained, pure, independent, uncorrupted and unpartnered Garden of Edeninnocents of childhood; the womb the tree (or fruit)experience into adulthood (once we leave we can never return) the trickster/serpent The serpent, seen duality of male/female; we shed our skin (grow) through the temptation of experience NoahNoah is seen as the mankind’s savior/protector Archetypes of Genesis

Possibly derived from Mesopotamian myth (i.e. Enuma Elish) Conflict and Violence does NOT drive process of creation Monotheistic—God is the unchallenged Creator Supports Unchallenged Ruler Removes ambiguity, allowing for social unification (i.e. Roman Empire) Beginnings of religious intolerance Original Sin and Continuous Search for Redemption God removed from Nature Significance of Genesis
