Abstract

Literalism can be countered by well-informed teaching. The author and a class studied Genesis 1-11 using various critical tools and films concerning the historical accuracy of the text. A survey of questions relating to the issue of interpretation was administered to participants before the course began. After the study the survey was repeated and the results compared. Results indicated that such teaching helps move some people beyond the narrowness of literalism; at the same time, however, the issue is not so much intellectual as it is emotional.
