... I didn't even know what to say in class when this was discussed. Maybe it is just being said in the worst way possible, or maybe this information is really messed up.
How many creation stories are there in the Bible?
Well, here's a summary the instructor said,
"The Hebrew creation story consists of two different creation stories: the Priestly version (Genesis 1) and the Yahwist version (Genesis 2 and 3). Genesis 2 and 3 is older than Genesis 1. In class I referenced another version of the Hebrew creation story, found in Isiah 51.
The Christian version of creation is related to the Hebrew version, but it is very different in terms of style and purpose."
Tell me what you make of it.
