Starting the First Creation Story

from The Jacobs Theology Show Hosted by Theology Teacher Man

In this episode, Brandon and Alice begin exploring the first creation story in the Bible—Genesis 1:1 to 2:3. They walk through the first and second days of creation and come across a strange phrase: “the dome in the midst of the waters.” What is that supposed to mean? The Biblical Catective arrives to explain ancient Israelite cosmology, the idea of a world-dome or firmament, and how historical context helps us make sense of confusing biblical passages like this one! Enjoy!
