(Bonus) Polemic: Reading Genesis 1 - 11 - Day 5 (Flood and Babel) 15.04.2026 2h 45min

In this episode, we conclude our study of Genesis 1–11 as a polemic by exploring the flood, the post-flood world, the nations, Babel, and Abraham. We see how Genesis reshapes familiar ancient themes to proclaim that Yahweh alone is sovereign, judgment is moral, sacrifice is relational, empire cannot save, and God’s answer to human pride is covenant grace rather than human achievement.

(Bonus) Polemic: Reading Genesis 1 - 11 - Day 4 (Spread) 15.04.2026 2h 32min

In this episode, we study Genesis 5–6 as part of the larger polemical message of Genesis 1–11. We explore how these chapters challenge ancient ideas about kingship, heroes, greatness, and the pre-flood world by emphasizing death, corruption, divine judgment, and the spread of sin. Rather than celebrating human fame, Genesis centers the story on humanity’s need for God’s mercy. Notes and resources are linked below.

(Bonus) Polemic: Reading Genesis 1 - 11 - Day 3 (Fall) 15.04.2026 2h 19min

In this episode, we explore Genesis 3 and 4 as part of the broader polemical message of Genesis 1–11. We look at how the fall, the serpent, Cain, Lamech, and the rise of civilization are presented in contrast to ancient Near Eastern ideas about wisdom, life, power, and human progress. Genesis shows that humanity’s true problem is not simply mortality, but rebellion against God, and it reveals how sin spreads from personal disobedience into family, culture, and society.

(Bonus) Polemic: Reading Genesis 1 - 11 - Day 2 (Creation) 15.04.2026 2h 24min

In this episode, we continue reading Genesis 1–11 as a polemic by focusing on creation in Genesis 1 and 2. We look at how the text confronts ancient pagan ideas by showing Yahweh’s total supremacy over chaos, sea monsters, heavenly bodies, and human origins. Along the way, we explore themes like the image of God, the seven days, Eden as sacred space, and the deeper theological message behind the creation story. Notes and resources are linked below.

(Bonus) Polemic: Reading Genesis 1 - 11 - Day 1 (Introduction) 15.04.2026 2h 31min

This episode introduces a way of reading Genesis 1–11 that takes seriously its ancient context. We explore how Genesis functions as a theological challenge to the gods and worldviews of the ancient Near East, and why understanding that world can deepen how we understand creation, flood narratives, and the identity of Yahweh. This is not the only lens for reading Genesis, but it is an important one that helps us hear the force of the text more clearly. Resources and notes are linked below.
