Show Notes

Presented by Dr. Steven Bishop, Associate Professor of Old Testament, Seminary of the Southwest

When it comes to speaking about the origins of our world we often think of Genesis and its creation stories. But, like in many cultures, the poets of ancient Israel marveled at creation and explored its meaning and variety through image and myth. Through their words the sun races like an athlete across the sky and the stars utter soundless words which only the poet can understand. This study will delve into the world of the poets of Israel as they paint new vistas of creation wonder for us to explore and sing.
