Project Genesis: Part One

Project Genesis: Part One

Did you know that Abraham married his half-sister? Did you know that after the great flood, Noah got drunk and one of his sons saw him naked and Noah him exiled for it?

These are a few things you will learn if you take this course. You will realize the Biblical book of Genesis is a marvelous and sensational work of literature rather than simply a part of a religious tome often used to cudgel infidels into submission. The lessons will offer a fresh and diverse reading for those already familiar with the book of Genesis. For those unfamiliar with Genesis, including atheists and agnostics, it will present an overview of Genesis in a way that doesn’t have the pressure or trappings of formal religious thoughts. The course will include a bonus section crafted by a real-life preacher, giving the viewer a well-rounded perspective. The series would likely not appeal to Christian fundamentalists or most evangelicals with rigid views concerning the Bible. This course aims to entertain and educate with no agenda to lead people to or from faith in any religion and, at its core, offers no devotional elements. Writing prompts will be given for those who want to dig more deeply into personal reflections.

This is the first of a series of video-based courses that will cover the entire Christian Bible, including the deuterocanonical (apocryphal) books.   Part One will cover Genesis chapters 1-24.

Wait… there's no way it really says that in the Bible.
