One of the most interesting hypotheses I’ve heard is that Genesis 1 actually represents the liturgy for a week-long new year’s celebration. Apparently, little is known about how the Hebrews celebrated that event.

Ever so slightly off-topic.

Not very much off topic. I am almost certain that suggestion is correct, and the format of Genesis 1 is liturgical.

For a Christian who wants to be faithful to the scriptures, knowing the literary genre is important. If this were narrative history, intended to convey historical and scientific data, I would understand it much differently. I see no reason to believe it is, and much reason to believe it’s not.

Thanks for that note!
