Bible Question (short): Creation: Written as Prose or Poetry? |
Question (full): I know the liberal theologians view Gen 1 and following as poetry, in order to deny it as true history, but are there conservative theologians who view chapter one as poetry and not prose? (Not that poetry makes the account any less historical) In my translation the curse in chapter 3 is translated as poetry, as well as Adam naming Eve in chapter 2, but chapter 1 is not translated in a poetic format in my translation (NASB). I see the creation account as brief prose, not poetic verse. Are there any Hebrew scholars out there? Peace, Lionstrong |
