Compare
and contrast one of the above documents with:
Hymns of Praise to Yahweh – Psalm 8
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+8&version=ESV
As you read, look for points of
comparison and contrast. Our textbook editors suggest that the Hebrews drew
from both Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations (2-1), not only practices of
law and society, but also in terms of religious beliefs, going as far as to
suggest that the Hebrew people were not truly monotheistic until Moses
introduced that idea (2-2). Your initial thread should have a clear thesis
statement and should respond to the following questions:
Comparison/Contrast: What are the most telling similarities and differences
between the two documents?
Basic analysis: What do you think of the textbook editors’ conclusions
regarding Hebrew monotheism? (Use Genesis to support your arguments)
Biblical Evaluation: Based on your own understanding of the Bible, Christianity,
and the nature of man, what reasons do you think might account for the
similarities within the texts? (Provide specific Scriptural support)
If
additional guidance is needed for Biblical evaluation, you can do use either of
these websites for further assistance:
