After an introductory paper on the text of Genesis itself, the authors deal with receptions of this theme in the Prophet Jeremiah, Early Judaism, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. They comment on creation accounts in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece and ancient philosophy, reconstructing the earliest known receptions of Genesis 1 in ancient philosophers like Numenius and Galen. They trace its influence in the Johannine, Petrine and Pauline traditions of Early Christianity, and follow it right through the Middle Ages up till the present-day discussion of design in Nature. 410 0$aThemes in Biblical Narrative ;$v8. 517 3 $aRe-interpretations of Genesis I in the Context of Judaism, Ancient Philosophy, Christianity, and Modern Physics 606 $aBiblical cosmology$vCongresses 606 $aCosmology$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aCreation$xBiblical teaching$vCongresses 615 0$aBiblical cosmology 615 0$aCosmology$xHistory 615 0$aCreation$xBiblical teaching 676 $a222/.1106 702 $aKooten$b George H. van 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784185703321 996 $aThe Creation of Heaven and Earth$93754086 997 $aUNINA
