Genesis background: 'Images' created in 'Gardens'

Описание: 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!]
