Signum University presents Thesis Theater with Celesta Clegg on Saturday, July 13, 2024 at 5pm ET.
Germanic reworkings of Genesis material present a glimpse into the Christian doctrine and societal understandings of the medieval culture in which the texts were composed. This thesis serves as an analysis and synthesis of the topic of original sin as found in a selection of prominent Germanic Genesis-related texts. Primary sources from the early post-conversion period through the late medieval period will be analyzed comparatively to determine common themes across analogues, explore original material unique to specific reworkings of the text, and postulate societal influence and reception of these works within the culture of the time.
