Abstract
"The reading of the Genesis narrative is challenging. It gives a double-burden to modern readers in terms of similarity and dissimilarity. At first, modern readers may be shocked by its huge amount of similarity with Ancient Near Eastern Literature. But soon they are even embarrassed with its stark dissimilarity with contemporary modern thought. This discomfort may force modern readers to the place of a theological vacuum; they might be overwhelmed and thus neutralized by these double-betrayals."
