The Hebrew Bible is among the most influential books in Western literature. It is the basis for theology, concepts of ethics and morality and the inspiration for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. But is it true? Look at the first four chapters of Genesis in an attempt to answer that question. Did the events happen exactly as they are described, making them historically and scientifically true? Does it need to be understood literally to be true? How do archaeology and modern critical scholarship impact our answer? How are we even sure we know what the words mean? Examine these questions.
