BAS's Acclaimed Video Lectures: Series One: Making Humans in the Image of God: Reflections on Genesis 1-3 Peter Machinist
In reflecting on the Genesis Creation story, Machinist uncovers implicit definitions of humanity and God. He demonstrates that parallel rhetorical structures and wordplay in Genesis point to distinctions between God and humanity and suggests that the purpose of the Genesis Creation story may be to define God as immortal and knowledgeable, and humans as one or the other but never both. Peter Machinist is Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Other Oriental Languages in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University and a member of the faculty at Harvard Divinity School. He has served on the editorial boards of Biblical Archaeologist, the Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Reserch and the Journal of Biblical Literature. Among his recent publications is "The Fall of Assyria in Comparative Ancient Perspective," in S. Parpola and R.M. Whiting, eds., Assyria 1995 (Helsinki, 1997). BAS 1999, VHS, 62 minutes.
