NOAH TO ABRAHAM

MODULE 1: Introduction to the Flood Narrative

SESSION 1: How We Read the Flood Story

Here we learn that reading the Hebrew Bible has been too challenging for many. Most of the people tends to bring the modern perspective in analyzing the bible stories which also includes the flood story narrative. It is important to note that Genesis 1-11 provides a macro structure of the way the bible stories are designed and that as Psalm 1 suggests, understanding of the bible should involve a lifetime engagement with it. Also we see that we need to have a better knowledge of what the authors of the Hebrew Bible set their stories and the real meaning attached to them.
