  • Rebekah The Values In Genesis
    596 words

  • Hebrew God
    2,240 words
    The Old Testament The Old Testament is a compilation, and like every compilation it has a wide variety of contributors who, in turn, have their individual influence upon the final work. It is no surprise, then, that there exist certain parallels between the Enuma Elish, the cosmogony of the Babylonians, and the Book of Genesis, the first part of the Pentateuch section of the Bible.

    Describing Biblical Parallels in Hawthorne's 'Rappaccini's Daughter' In Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's Daughter", many biblical parallels can be found. The story duplicates the chapter of genesis in the bible in many ways. Ranging from the characters, to the setting, and even the deadly plant in the story.

    1,175 words
    . I have spent the first half of this semester studying the historical fiction of ancient cultures, more specifically, the book Genesis, the epic of Gilgamesh, and the Enuma Elish creation story. It was interesting to discover the uniqueness and at the same time, the similarities of the stories. Many of the details in the stories were similar, yet some aspects were different. For the purpose of this paper it is important to note the significance of what changes the author (s) of Genesis made and...

They both come to rest on a mountain, when the waters subside. And at the end they both sacrifice an offering to the gods or God. Regardless of the similarities th...
  • Bad Human Traits In Genesis
    2,532 words
    The concept of the 'perfect' man or woman has always existed throughout the history of humankind. In the three classical texts of the Iliad, Genesis and Meno, there are portrayals of the ideal human qualities, as reflections on their specific culture and times. It would be of great interest to examine what exactly these qualities are, and in what respects they differ or are similar. If there is a single concept of human perfection then there must be a definite set of qualities which define it. I...
