Word House 3 – Weimar: June 2, 2013 by Prof. Dr. Siegfried Zimmer At the end, Siegfried Zimmer talks about the beginning. He gets down to the nitty-gritty, gets to the basics, undertakes a linguistic excursion to the foundations of the world. Is the story of Adam and Eve, is the biblical creation myth a treatise that is to be understood historically and scientifically? Or is it more about the basis of human life, about the fundamental relationship between God and man and the world? Zimmer's thesis: How these questions are answered is crucial for understanding the rest of the Bible. Adam is not Adam – Adam is everyone, is every human. The door that this realization opens is perhaps initially the gateway to another galaxy, but ultimately the gateway to our galaxy and to an appropriate approach to the texts of the Bible. _______________________________ This video by Worthaus eV is under CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0 License (attribution, non-commercial use, no derivatives; https://creativecommons.org/licenses/....
