Creating Two Worlds: The J and P Accounts of Creation

Outline the order of the 2 creation stories in NRSV Genesis in parallel columns (story #1 is Gen 1:1–2:4a, and story #2 is Gen 2:4b-25). Underneath the columns, summarize the differences in a bullet list. Then check and supplement your results with Knight and Levine's observations on pp. 198-213 of The Meaning of the Bible. Finally, consider whether and/or how The Action Bible changes the story/ies.
