This unit will set Genesis 1-11 within the context of the Hebrew Bible and of ancient near-eastern literature and thought. It will then explore and assess different approaches to the text, such as canonical criticism, feminist and liberationist interpretations, reader-response criticism, scientific issues, with a view to developing insights which speak to contemporary issues.
