Genesis background: 'Images' created in 'Gardens'

In this episode, we take a look at some FASCINATING religious background information from Mesopotamia that sheds new light on how we read the Creation account of Genesis 1-2! [CORRECTION: I misspoke in the video so let me correct it here! Hadad was the name of the god and the image was set up by the ruler, Hadad-yithi. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks to Dr. Catherine McDowell for catching my error!] Resources mentioned: * The Image of God in the Garden of Eden - Catherine McDowell https://tinyurl.com/3e39djcd * Against the Gods - John Currid https://tinyurl.com/ym79v3es * Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commenary - John Walton https://tinyurl.com/mvptv297 * Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible review - https://youtu.be/0dNTdceIYvc * Archaeological Study Bible review - https://youtu.be/vhU0SDv0KQI * Aquaman Explains Biblical Imagery of the Sea - https://youtu.be/DLuljp4QuYY * Wonder Woman explains 'Helpmate' - https://youtu.be/vQUHlNJAAaQ ***Disciple Dojo shirts and other gifts are available over in our online store! - https://www.zazzle.com/discipledojo ------ Go deeper at www.discipledojo.org   Subscribe to the Disciple Dojo podcast for more in-depth teaching and discussions:  SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/discipledojo   Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/26BDZz70HmnT5eoD9BEKQ7   iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/disciple-dojo/id1002934837 Stitcher - http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=181458&refid=stpr   Amazon - https://tinyurl.com/uz8dbfet   Disciple Dojo is a 501c3 Nonprofit organization.
