Presentation transcript:

In the beginning... When God began to create the heaven and the earth---the earth was at that time without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep---then God said: Let there be light…. Creation out of nothing?

Signs of the Priestly Writer God Six days/seven days (God keeps sabbath) Be fruitful and multiply--9:1 Vegetarian diet; 9:3 Elleh toledoth Remoteness of God vs. immanence of Yahweh in chaps 2- 3 “Creates” vs acts, forms, breathes, plants male and female vs. the man and his wife Wild animals of the earth; animals of the field (2:19)

The Days of Creation Day One: Let there be light Day Two: “firmament” Day Three: land and vegetation Day Four: big one, little one…and also the stars Day Five: birds and fish Day Six: animals and man-woman

The Sabbath Focus moves from heaven to earth artificiality of 7-day structure (8 creation events) 7 regular days in a regular 7-day week If God rests, why not we? (counter cultural) Exod 31:12-17: Sabbath as sign of covenant

Enuma elish (when on high…) Ti’amat and Kingu challenge divine council Marduk elected king of the gods (word) Defeats Ti’amat; Kingu imprisoned creation of earth and sky from Ti’amat gods complain about work; Marduk creates humans out of blood of Kingu to work in place of gods; city of Babylon and temple of Marduk

Contrast between Babylonian and Biblical Worldviews political function--rise of city of Babylon Conflict among gods; Genesis--only birdies, beasties, and fishies power of word…in Babylon and in Israel’s exile transcendent God (no sex, magic) does creation “end” in space (temple) or in time?

Message to Israel in exile word--power behind God’s promise = Genesis 9; only reliable basis for faith Be fruitful and multiply vs. astrology

The human vocation anthropology: humans are evil and slaves in Enuma elish vs. “very good” and royal vocation in Genesis 1 Psalm 8 image of God--rulership. We are God’s good creatures

Toledoth = Generations Heaven and earth (2:4a) Adam (5:1)* Noah (6:9) Sons of Noah (10:1)* Shem (11:10)* Terah (11:27)* Ishmael (25:12)* Isaac (25:19) Esau/Edom (36:1, 9)* Jacob (37:2) [Aaron and Moses-- Numbers 3] Asterisk = followed by genealogy Italics = no longer center stage

Creation and evolution Variety of biblical pictures (Gen 1 and 2; Yahweh vs the sea--Isa 27:1-2; 54:9-11; Psa 74:12-17; 89:1-14; 25) Genesis 1 is truthful expression within one ancient worldview I believe that God made ME and all creatures How do we affirm creation within early 21st century science?

The Structural Beauty of Genesis 1 7 x “created” (1:1, 21, , 2:3, 4) 7x good: light, land and seas, vegetation, heavenly bodies, sea monsters and birds, animals, everything was very good Blessings announced: –1:22 first biological life--fish and birds –1:28 man and woman--but not land animals –2:3 the seventh day

7 elements in descriptions of days –God said –Let there be –It was so –God separated…God made –Word of blessing or naming –God saw it was good –Evening and morning
