Wednesday, March 6, 13, & 20
7:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Anshe Emet
Instructor: Gary Porton
This series will discuss the role of primeval history in the Torah as well as its serving as primary texts upon which scholars argue for different sources behind the Torah. In addition, comparing Gen. 1-11 with similar stories in other Ancient Near Eastern cultures clearly shows what the Israelites borrowed from the cultures that surrounded them and changed to confirm to their unique views of God and humanity.
