For many there seems to be two acounts of creation; Chapter 1 being the first, and the Chapter 2 being the second, with many considering Chapter 3 to be a continuation of the second ‘version’ of creation. So are these two different accounts? Two different versions? Two different perspectives. This week we will look at these questions.

Are there Two Creation Accounts in Genesis?
This is a somewhat deep dissection of the Genesis text that looks at the literary makeup of the written text. The purpose is to understand how the first chapters of Genesis relate to each other. It is less than 25 minutes in length, but requires a little more concentration since it is taught more like a college class than a pastors sermon.
Here are some general things to think about while listening to this week’s resources:
- Why are there two apparent tellings of the creation story?
- Is the creation of ‘MAN’ and the creation of ‘ADAM and EVE’ the same people or different?
- Is Chapter 3 tied to Chapter 1, Chapter 2, or does it stand alone by itself?
- What to YOU see as the similarities and differences between the two accounts.
