1.) Compare/contrast the creation account of Genesis with the creation account in the Enuma Elish. 2.) Compare/contrast the flood account in Genesis with the flood account in the Epic of Gilgamesh. 3.) Compare/contrast the account of Babel in Genesis with the the “Confusion of Tongues.” 4.) Compare/contrast a biblical account with one other piece of ANE literature of your choosing. In the paper, one paragraph per comparison/contrast is sufficient, but be sure to actually engage and cite the texts. In your conclusion, argue for the theological significances of these comparisons and contrasts. In other words, show me what the authors of Scripture are saying about YHWH (the Lord) compared to other gods of the ancient Near East. Also, tell me why it is helpful and important for us to understand the Old Testament in terms of its broader cultural context.
