In this episode I present the final installment of my series on Genesis 1 and what I think is the best handling of the text - the Polemical Literary Framework. This is part 5 of the series so I recommend listening back to the previous episodes before jumping into this one.
Enjoy the show!

Cannot figure out how to see any part other than the final part of Genesis 1.
