On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Kyle and Juan introduce the course “The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives.”

Genesis is a book of fundamental importance for the Jewish and Christian faiths and has exerted a profound influence on Western Civilization. In addition to being a great religious text, it is also a literary masterpiece. This course explores some of the work’s major narrative themes, including the complex relationship between God and man, the consequences of a rupture in that relationship, and the path towards reconciliation.

Among the primary aims of Hillsdale College are the teaching of the Christian religion “by precept and example” and the “diffusion of sound learning.” These aims rest upon a tradition that views faith and reason as an integrity and affirms their capacity to discover truth about man’s relationship to the divine.
