In this ISCAST Perth event, Rev. Dr David Cohen will discuss humans in Genesis Chapters 1-4, namely Adam and Eve and their immediate descendants, and will explore what Genesis might tell us about being human through them. His talk will touch on aspects as diverse as cosmology, anthropology, and theology, and will consider origins not only of the cosmos but also of humans’ recognition of gods and God.
