The BibleProject’s reading of Job argues that the book systematically dismantles the “retribution principle”—the assumption, shared by Job and his three friends, that a just God must run the world on a strict scale of moral cause and effect (righteousness produces blessing, sin produces suffering). When God finally answers Job “out of the whirlwind” (Job 38–41), he does not explain why Job suffered. Instead, he takes Job on a tour of the cosmos—wild donkeys, ostriches, war-horses, and finally the untamable chaos-creatures Behemoth and Leviathan—and asks Job a barrage of questions he cannot answer: Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundations? Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Using the whirlwind speeches, explain what the book of Job teaches about God’s sovereignty over the world. Your answer must: Show why God’s response counts as an answer to Job’s complaint at all, given that it never addresses the cause of his suffering directly. Explain how the imagery of wild and untamable creatures (especially Behemoth and Leviathan) reframes divine rule—is God sovereign by eliminating chaos, or through governing a world that includes it? Take a position on what kind of sovereignty this is: is it primarily raw power (“I can do what I want and you can’t stop me”), or is it something more like wisdom—governance too complex and good for a creature to audit? Defend your reading with specific textual support. Length: 600–800 words. Cite specific verses from Job to support your argument.

In Book IX of the Odyssey, Polyphemus the Cyclops refuses the sacred obligations of xenia (guest-hospitality), mocking the idea that he owes anything to strangers who arrive at his cave. Using specific details from the text, explain how Homer uses this scene to characterize the Cyclops as uncivilized or even monstrous. Then, in dialogue with Romans 2:14-15 (“the requirements of the law are written on their hearts”), reflect on whether Homer’s portrayal of hospitality suggests a kind of moral knowledge available to all people, even apart from special revelation.  (Minimum 200 words. Grading will consider textual specificity, theological engagement, and clarity of argument.)

In Chapter 2, you encountered one of the most striking parallels in all of ancient literature. The Epic of Gilgamesh (Sumerian/Akkadian, ca. 2100–1200 BCE) contains a detailed flood narrative: the hero Utnapishtim is warned by a god, builds a great boat, loads it with living creatures, weathers a catastrophic flood, sends out birds to find dry land, and offers sacrifice when the waters recede. The structural similarities to Genesis 6–9 are too close to be coincidental. Yet the two accounts arrive at very different conclusions about the nature of the divine, the meaning of the flood, and what it says about human beings and their relationship to the gods. Using specific details from both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Genesis flood narrative (chapters 6–9), write an essay that addresses the following: First, identify at least three specific parallels between the two accounts — places where the narratives share plot details, imagery, or structure. Then, identify what you consider the most theologically significant differences between them. Pay particular attention to: Why does the flood happen? What kind of being sends it? How do the gods (or God) respond after the waters recede? Second, the lecture noted that in the Gilgamesh account, the flood is sent by capricious gods who afterward “regret and squabble,” while in Genesis, God acts in moral judgment, preserves the righteous, and seals his promise with a covenant. What does this difference reveal about the two traditions’ understandings of divine character? What does it say about the human beings in each story — are they victims of divine whim, or are they moral agents in a world governed by a God of character? Third, some students find the Gilgamesh parallel troubling — as if it “proves” that Genesis is merely borrowed mythology. Others find it clarifying or even strengthening to the biblical account. Where do you land, and why? Does the existence of a flood tradition across multiple ancient cultures threaten, support, or complicate a thoughtful reading of the Genesis account? Defend your position with specific reasoning, not just assertion. Your essay should be a minimum of three well-developed paragraphs. You are expected to quote or paraphrase from both texts directly. Unsupported generalizations will not receive full credit.
