211. Bible - Genesis and Ancient Creation Myths

How do the Genesis creation accounts relate to Ancient Near Eastern creation myths like the Enuma Elish? Dr. Arvind Subramanian, an Old Testament scholar, argues that Genesis functions primarily as a theological polemic against surrounding mythologies. Dr. Caleb Whitfield, a biblical theologian, contends that Genesis both reflects shared cultural concepts and transforms them, placing Israel’s Scripture in meaningful dialogue with its ancient world.
