I got hung up in Genesis. This portion of the lectionary reminded me of an Old Testament survey course I had taken which opened up the door of exegesis for me. I was deeply impressed by the "four source theory" which provided an explanation of the interesting and sometimes contradictory authorship of the Torah. This explanation gave me much comfort and grounding to think that the authorship of the first five books of the First Testament were a collaborative effort in an attempt to unify a scattered, chosen people and communicate individual, tribal faith and beliefs to future generations.
