The Unfolding Views of God (from Genesis)

This ten-minute video discusses how the idea of God in Genesis evolves.  “Yahweh”, first introduced in Genesis 2 as a rather anthropomorphic version of God, is also the God of Isa. 43 who offers such consolation and hope to Israel during the Babylonian Exile.  Does your idea of God evolve?  We discuss two of the Biblical authors of “Genesis”–the J writer (called that because he identifies God as “Jehovah” or Yahweh) and the P writer (referring to the Priestly writers who called God “Elohim”).   (Click here to find the brand new “Genesis CD – Part I”.)
