1.     The video lecture described the contextual river using the analogy of a northern Wisconsin river trip. How will reading the Bible be like taking a trip down a river? 
What benefits might this perspective bring as you read?

 

 

2.     The video lecture also spoke of our knowledge of the situation in a story. We know more than the characters themselves. 
What does this knowledge do to your watching or reading of a story? How might this be helpful when reading a familiar story, such as the message of the Bible?

1.     God creates the world perfectly in Genesis 1. Though the fall into sin has happened, in what ways is the world still at least partially good as God first made it?

 

2.     God also created Adam and Eve as perfect reflections of himself. Again, the fall into sin has blurred that reflection and image. 
But how is it possible to still see a reflection of God in people, especially in qualities such as faith, patience, and forgiveness?

 

 

3.     The video lecture described the nature of Hebrew repetition and contrast. Give at least two examples of such repetition and/or contrast in the readings for this week. 
What is the value of hearing the same story or idea again or hearing of its opposite?

 

4.     The video lecture spoke of the biblical theme of instant perfection—patient relationship. Demonstrate that theme as it is shown in the readings for this week.
Why would the God of instant perfection in Genesis 1 show such patience in other sections of Genesis?

 

 

5.     Consider the life of Noah and his decades of building the ark. What qualities would it take to be Noah, to hear God’s command to build the ark, to fill it with the animals and his family, ride out the flood, and step out onto an old/new world?
