  8. Theological Point The primeval history provides a significant theological backdrop for understanding the blessings and promises that dominate the ancestral history. • It asserts a divine concern for the whole of creation in general and humanity in particular • The universalism of the primeval history is the subtext of the ancestral history, which focuses on one family as the agent for blessing all families
