Episode 22 - Humanity in The Creation Story: Genesis 1

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this week's episode, I discuss the story of creation and the significance of Genesis 1 and 2.

EPISODE NOTES

In this week's episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew, I will be discussing one of the most fascinating tales of the Bible: the story of creation.

This tale holds more meaning than you might think. After all, the creation of human beings is the climax of God's creative efforts. We are his most fascinating project. 

However, the first question we should be asking ourselves is, is it only one creation story? As it happens, the answer is more complicated than that. You don't have to be a scholar to recognize that the first two chapters of Genesis present two creation stories instead of one. 

So why do we call Genesis 1 THE creation story? Well, this is one of the many questions I'm answering today.

If you want to learn more about the story of creation, the significance of Genesis 2, and why humanity is made in God’s image, tune in now!
