First sentence: A new endeavour is made in the following pages to trace the Biblical creation narrative back to its source and to ascertain why it is divided by six "evenings and mornings."
Description: 8:51 PM
Mr Wiseman presents a simple, rational and Biblically accurate presentation of the first page of the Bible that describes the creation of God's universe. Originally published in1948, Wiseman's work has fallen into obscurity largely due to the fact that it does not follow the popular belief that the "days" ascribed in Genesis are literal sequential "24-hour days" of Creation. Rather, the author asserts that God revealed Creation to Moses in six days of ‘teaching’. Wiseman observes that many English translations of the Bible have lost subtleties of the original text by misinterpreting the intent of the author to explanation two significant events: the manner of the 'teaching' and the lesson itself.
Notes: Many references to the archaeological study of original findings of the "Babylonian Creation Tablets."
