East of Eden Finding Our Way Home A Study of Genesis with Stan Key ONCE UPON A TIME… An Overview of the Book of Genesis I. The Big Picture A. Have you ever arrived for a movie 20 minutes after it started? The characters are unknown. There is no discernable plot. It feels like a series of randomly arranged events with no coherent meaning. B. For many people, the Bible is like that. It is a collection of 66 books, in three languages, by 40 authors, written over a period of 1,500 years. Many fail to see the unity of the Bible’s overall message because they do not know Genesis (they missed the first 20 minutes!). Here the major characters, themes, purpose, and direction of the history of salvation are introduced. C. Genesis is not a book of philosophy, science, liturgy, or prophetic writing. It tells a story. Other cultures of the ancient Near East wrote myths; the Hebrews wrote history, set in time and space. Here are addressed the most essential questions of human existence: • Is there a God? If so, what is he (she? it? they?) like? • Where did I come from? • Who am I? Who are my people? • Where does the idea of good and evil come from? • Why are families so dysfunctional? • What’s wrong with the world? • Where is home? • Is there hope for the future? • Is history linear or cyclical? II. Overview of Genesis A. “These are the generations of…” Serving as a sort of title for the story that follows, this phrase alerts us to the basic structure of the book. • Gn 2:4—The heavens and the earth • Gn 5:1—Adam • Gn 6:9—Noah • Gn 11:27—Terah, the father of Abraham • Gn 25:19—Isaac, the father of Jacob • Gn 37:2—Jacob, the father of Joseph • See also Gn 10:1; 11:10; 25:12; 36:1, 9. Apparently, God intends to get his work done in the world through particular persons. In Genesis, five persons are given particular attention. Adam Noah Abraham Jacob Joseph Dealing with Salvation from The walk of faith The need for The path of temptation God’s wrath sanctification suffering Gn 1:1–6:8 Gn 6:9–11:26 Gn 11:27–25:18 Gn 25:19–36:43 Gn 37:1–50:26 East of Eden by Stan Key Page Once Upon a Time… 5 B. The other structural clue to this book is the noticeable change that occurs at Chapter 12. This chapter divides Genesis into two primary parts. Chapters 1–11 Chapters 12–50 General Particular • The place: Mesopotamia • The place: Canaan • The people: the human race • The people: Abraham and his descendants • The time: many generations (many centuries) • The time: four generations (about 300 years) The Problem The Solution • Human wickedness and sin • Only God can deal with the problem • Divine judgment • His solution is to choose a man • Human attempts to deal with and make a covenant with him. the problem fail miserably Formation (Gn 1–2) Re-formation (choose a people) De-formation (Gn 3–11) Trans-formation (recreate the heart) C. The title of this series is “East of Eden: Finding Our Way Home”1 (see Gen 3:24; 4:16). This reminds us that salvation is a journey: we are estranged from God, lost, homesick, and can’t find our way home. All human history is lived out somewhere east of Eden. The good news is that God has not abandoned us and is working out a solution to the sin problem. If we follow him, he will lead us home. III. The message of Genesis in four questions. Genesis is more than the history of the Jews. These stories have a message for us. “All Scripture is… profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tm 3:16). At some level, Genesis tells my story and explains my life. A. What do you do when things are formless and empty? (Read Gn 1:1–2) 1. Next week, we will examine why God’s first creative act left the earth “formless and void” (Hebrew, tohu and bohu). For our purposes in this introduction, it is sufficient to note that the story of salvation begins by describing God as the One who: • Gives meaning (he forms) to what appears to be chaotic: he organizes time (seven days/week), he shapes undifferentiated matter into earth and sky, etc. • Fills what is empty: he puts stars in the heavens, birds in the sky, fish in the seas, animals and people on the earth, etc. 2. Genesis 1–2 shows us that God accomplishes this primarily through: • Speaking. “Let there be…” (Gn 1:3, 6, 9, etc.). “In the beginning was the Word…” (Jn 1:1). God’s word brings cosmos out of chaos by creating organization, structure, purpose, and meaning. • Giving light. The first day of creation began with light! Note: the sun was not created until the fourth day. 1 I’m well aware that “East of Eden” has been used as a title for a book (John Steinbeck), a movie (1955), a song (sung by Placido Domingo and others), and more. But the phrase comes from Genesis 4:16 and thus can serve as a text for multiple purposes. Page East of Eden by Stan Key 6 Once Upon a Time… But he also does it by: • Separating things (Gn 1:4, 6, 7, 14, 18): light/darkness, waters below/above, day/night, good/evil, male/female, etc.). He organizes things “according to its kind” (Gn 1:11, 12, 21, 24, 25). He creates boundaries with unblurred edges. • Giving things their names (Gn 1:5,8,10): Day, Night, Heaven, Earth, Seas. He will also give new names (Abraham, Sarah, Israel, etc.). 3. The book of Genesis describes how God continues to deal with what is: • Formless and chaotic: wicked society before the flood, Babel, Sodom, warring brothers, a husband calling his wife his sister, etc. • Empty: Adam is alone, the womb of Sarah/Rebecca/Rachel is empty, etc. 4. Application: “God is not a God of disorder/confusion” (1 Cor 14:33). If your life feels chaotic—if it feels empty—then ask God to do what only he can do: • Speak into the chaotic darkness. • Turn on the lights. • Separate things into their proper category. • Give things their proper names. B. Can the shattered image of God be restored? (Read Gn 1:26–27) 1. We will study this in more detail in coming chapters, but we can summarize the image of God in man by saying it relates to: • That which makes us distinct from the animals—and angels. • How male and female live together in marriage (a union of differences). • Righteousness, holiness, and love (agape). • Dominion over creation. 2. When

Conant High School, Hoffman Estates, USA a*[email protected] Keywords: Archetypes, Feminism, East of Eden, Cathy Ames, John Steinbeck, Literary Theory Abstract. East of Eden, published in 1952, has been criticized as both feminist and misogynistic in nature. This contrasting criticism can be attributed to the varied interpretations of female roles in the novel. This paper aims to examine East of Eden using feminist and archetypal theory. Archetypal theory studies roles characters play through fundamental and inherited symbols. These symbols are thematic associations that are common to humanity in general. Feminist theory analyzes texts based on how power is manipulated to establish the dominance or subordination of either gender. In particular, feminist theory studies how females claim, assert or subvert power for themselves. Coupled together, the theories seek to understand how established conventions influence the female experience. By analyzing the intersection between the roles portrayed by the women in the Salinas Valley and societal expectations, this paper intends to explore the influence of tradition on decision making. 1. Introduction Children are taught from a young age to fear monsters; in fact, part of the reason monsters are so alarming is due to the fact that they represent inner darkness that no one wishes to acknowledge.

  • Timshel: the Monomyth in East of Eden
    Walker 1 Nikkita Walker Timshel: The Monomyth in East of Eden Throughout 1951 the American author John Steinbeck was entrenched in writing what he considered was the book he had “been practicing for all of my life”( Letters 408). It was to be written as though addressed to his young sons, “so simple in its difficulty that a child can understand it”( Journal 6); a novel about what Steinbeck called “perhaps the greatest story of all - the story of good and evil, of strength and weakness… how neither can exist without the other and how out of their groupings creativeness is born”( Journal 4). In December of 1951 he delivered the manuscript of his novel, East of Eden , enclosed in a beautifully carved wooden box to his publisher and close friend Pascal Covici with a letter which said “here’s your box. Nearly everything I have is in it and it is not full. All pain and excitement is in it and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts – the pleasure of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation…And still the box is not full”( Letters 433). Steinbeck’s East of Eden utilizes mythical and Biblical stories to create an allegorical bridge to understanding what he considered “the basis of all human neurosis - and if you take the fall along with it, you have the total of the psychic troubles that can happen to a human” (Journal 104). Joseph Campbell, a literary theorist and contemporary with Steinbeck had elaborated on this same concept in 1949 in his work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces , wherein he posited that, universally, the story at the heart of mythology is an awareness of the human ability to consciously act, “the hero is the champion of things becoming, not of things become, because he is ”(Campbell 225).

  • East of Eden by John Steinbeck
    East of Eden by John Steinbeck About the author No writer is more quintessentially American than John Steinbeck. Born in 1902 in Salinas, California, Steinbeck attended Stanford University before working at a series of mostly blue-collar jobs and embarking on his literary career. Profoundly committed to social progress, he used his writing to raise issues of labor exploitation and the plight of the common man, penning some of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century and winning such prestigious awards as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He received the Nobel Prize in 1962, "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception." Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures. East of Eden, the novel he called "the big one," was published in 1952. About the book East of Eden, John Steinbeck's passionate and exhilarating epic, re-creates the seminal stories of Genesis through the intertwined lives of two American families. The result is a purely American saga set in Steinbeck's own childhood home, the Salinas Valley of northern California. The valley is a new world both idyllic and harsh, and Steinbeck sings to it with a personal nostalgia that is clouded by the knowledge that this valley-as all human dwellings-is the location for as much tragedy as triumph. A brilliant novel of ideas, East of Eden is far-reaching in its effort to explicate the most fundamental trials of mankind. Brutally realistic-and sometimes fatalistic-about people's ability to harm themselves and those around them, it is also a celebration of perseverance, enduring love, and the noble yearning to better oneself.

East of Eden one of the most controversial works by John Steinbeck since its publication up to now has been receptive to many critical discourses in almost all of the critical approaches. One of the most important reasons to this critical reception is its wide circle of themes and symbolic nature. Having created a world full of universal values, Steinbeck succeeded to challenge many of these values.

"I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature." With this declaration, John Steinbeck accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962, becoming only the fifth American to receive one of the most prestigious awards in writing. In announcing the award, Nobel committee chair Anders Osterling, quoted in the Dictionary of Literary Biography Documentary Series, described Steinbeck as "an independent expounder of the truth with an unbiased instinct for what is genuinely American, be it good or ill." This was a reputation the author had earned in a long and distinguished career that produced some of the twentieth century's most acclaimed and popular novels.

  • Rediscovering Me and Juliet and Pipe Dream , the Forgotten Musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: “WHO EXPECTS A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY?”: REDISCOVERING ME AND JULIET AND PIPE DREAM , THE FORGOTTEN MUSICALS OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN Bradley Clayton Mariska, Master of Arts, 2004 Thesis directed by: Assistant Professor Jennifer DeLapp Department of Musicology Me and Juliet (1953) and Pipe Dream (1955) diverged considerably from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s influential and commercially successful 1940s musical plays. Me and Juliet was the team’s first musical comedy and had an original book by Hammerstein. Pipe Dream was based on a John Steinbeck novel and featured bums and prostitutes. This paper documents the history of Me and Juliet and Pipe Dream , using correspondence, early drafts of scripts, interviews with cast members, and secondary sources. I analyze the effectiveness of plot, music, and lyrics, while considering factors in each show’s production that may have led to their respective failures. To better understand reception, emphasis is placed upon each show’s relationship to the political and cultural landscape of 1950s America. Re-examining these musicals helps document the complete history of the Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration and provides valuable insights regarding the duo’s social values and personal philosophies of musical theatre. “WHO EXPECTS A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY?”: REDISCOVERING ME AND JULIET AND PIPE DREAM , THE FORGOTTEN MUSICALS OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN by Bradley Clayton Mariska Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts 2004 Advisory Committee: Professor Jennifer DeLapp, Chair Professor Barbara Haggh-Huglo Professor Richard King © Copyright by Bradley Clayton Mariska 2004 To Grandma Bonnie, for The Sound of Music To my parents, for Joseph ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many individuals who have helped in the completion of this document.
