Creation Over Chaos
The biblical narrative begins by establishing a worldview that counters prevailing ancient Near Eastern beliefs, particularly the motif of chaos symbolized by the dragon in the chaotic sea. The authors assert that the ultimate reality is a benevolent creator, whose will and purpose govern creation, rather than a struggle between order and chaos. In this perspective, chaos doesn't hold power against God but rather represents the absence of creation, emphasizing that order, defined by the divine, prevails over disorder.
