For this assignment, you are to read both the ancient Sumerian creation myth, Debate Between Sheep and Grain, and the traditional Biblical account, Cain & Abel. You may wish to explore the supplemental materials for additional context.
Prompt: How do these stories compare and contrast; and what insight do they share about the different ideas, values, and identities of ancient Sumerian and Hebrew societies? (Tip: Anthropology slides will be useful).
You are required to think and explore beyond a mere summarization of the text. Nonetheless, your critical analysis must remain centered on the text itself.
. Read the following passages:
Debate Between Sheep and Grain
Genesis Chapter 4 (KJV): Cain & Abel
b. Supplemental materials:
Images: Sumerian Artifacts
Miller: Symbols of Fertility and Abundance
Genesis Chapter 13 (KJV): Abram & Lot
