    The Abbey of Saint-Denis is situated in a small town to which it has given its name, about four miles north of Paris. St-Denis (Dionysius), the first bishop of Paris and his companions martyred in 270, were buried here and the small chapel built over the spot became a famous place of pilgrimage during the fifth and sixth centuries.

    The Ziggurat The term 'ziggurat' derives from the Akkadian verb zaqārū ("to build a raised area"), which pretty much describes the process involved. From a very early stage in their civilization, the Sumerians had taken to placing their important temples on platforms or, in the case of ziggurats, on a stepped series of platforms. There are a variety of reasons why they may have done this.

    The canonical placement of Genesis. Besides being a book about beginnings, Genesis and its concern about creation constitute a fundamental theological category for every other biblical book. Only in relationship to creation can God's subsequent actions in and through Israel be properly understood: God's purposes with Israel and the church are universal in scope.
