    Gen 1: Biblical Creation in Conversation with Ancient Near Eastern Creation Myths

    Guest: K. Lawson Younger Jr., Assyriologist.  In this episode of The Bible Bar, we read Genesis 1 alongside ancient Near Eastern creation stories with K. Lawson Younger Jr., a leading Assyriologist. Drawing on texts from Mesopotamia and the wider ancient Near East, the conversation sets Genesis 1 in its ancient world and explores what makes the biblical account distinctive.  Along the way, we talk about the Enuma Elish, why Genesis lacks divine conflict, how creation happens through speech and order, what it means to be human in these texts, and how ancient audiences may have understood these stories. podcast website: https://sites.biu.ac.il/en/bible-bar
