Brothers at war, suffering shepherds, and God’s choice of a younger brother: these biblical themes begin in Genesis 4, the story of Cain and Abel. And while the first violent crime in the Bible intensifies the downward spiral of sin, a closer look at Genesis 4 also betrays strong similarities with the failure in Eden itself. In today’s conversation, we explore all these connections, and also review where we’ve come so far in Genesis 1–3.
