2. There are two complementary yet distinct understandings of God in the two Genesis
creation stories. Drawing on Weaver's outline of some Christian doctrines about God
(Weaver p. 100-104), what are the primary characteristics of God in Story One (the 7-day
creation story in Gen 1:1-2:4) and Story Two (the creation of Adam from the dirt in Gen 2:4-
25)? Use specific details to support your judgment. Are these characteristics the same or
different in the two stories? How can we make sense of the similarities and differences of
the depiction of God in the two stories?
