The Bible is a collection of writings including several books, written through a long time ranging from tenth century B.C to fifth century B.C. by anonymous people to deliver supposedly god’s words. The major theme of this book is worshiping the power, goodness and mercy of the one god. He gives people a treat if they follow him well and he also forgives them who are born sinful because they are human beings.
The Bible has had significant influence on not only Jews but also on all the people around world in every aspect such literature, morality etc.
1. What meanings are associated with light and darkness in the first chapter of Genesis?
-Light is contrast to darkness. God saw darkness and created light to compensate the balance. They are used to measure or divide a certain amount of time like a day. Light is subdivided into the greater light and lesser light. They don’t have any significance in terms of morality or good and bad, they are just light and darkness.
2. What attitude toward nature does Genesis convey?
-Apathy in a benign way like my parents. They don’t care about what I do but they make me take responsibility for whatever I have done. God created all the things, gave them freewill to live by themselves and made them take responsiblity “ God blessed [humans], and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it” and “ because thou has done this, thou art cursed above all cattle and above every beast of the field”
3. What are the implications of the relationship established between humans and the rest of creation?
-two humans should have subjugation from all the creatures such as beats, fowls, fishes, trees and grasses, suggested by God, therefore God created humans superior to every creature on earth.
