Overview and Objectives
This course provides an analysis of Genesis 1-11, looking at the background, the literary structure, the original meaning, the theological purpose, and modern applications. Why did Moses choose to tell the history of the Creation, the Fall, the Great Flood, and the Tower of Babel in the way that he did? It is based on the Third Millennium DVD series by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.
When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:
- Express their thoughts regarding Genesis 1:1-2:3 and its proper application today
- Identify important information regarding the background, purpose, original meaning, literary structure, and modern application of Genesis 1:1-2:3
- Show how they have applied the teaching of the lesson to their lives
As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
The Israelites failed to recognize God’s blessings in the Promised Land instead they thought Egypt was pretty good. In what ways are we tempted to not recognize the blessings of Christ’s inauguration and possibly settle for “pretty good”?
