WHAT DOES HEXAEMERON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hexaemeron

Hexameron

The term Hexameron refers either to the genre of theological treatise that describes God's work on the six days of creation or to the six days of creation themselves. Most often these theological works take the form of commentaries on Genesis 1. As a genre, hexameral literature was popular in the early church and medieval periods. The word derives its name from the Greek roots hexa-, meaning "six", and emer, meaning "day". Using the Genesis account as a template, the days of creation are claimed as follows: ▪ Light ▪ The firmament of Heaven ▪ Separation of water and land, created plant life; ▪ Sun, moon, and stars ▪ Marine life and birds ▪ Land animals, and man and woman. ▪ The seventh day is reserved for rest, and so is not counted. Based on this framework, Christian and Jewish authors have written treatises that cover a wide variety of topics, including cosmology, science, theology, theological anthropology, and God's nature. Saint Basil wrote an early and influential series of homilies around 370 AD which figure as the earliest extant Hexameron.
