The story told in Genesis, chapter 4, is deeply interpreted in this book, unlike it ever has been before. The interpretation is based on the meaning implied by the Hebrew text and the circumstances surrounding the characters. The name meanings tell the untold story. The result is a much deeper realization of why this story is told, why it is important and how it impacts our lives today.

 

The Cain and Abel story is largely absent from the Catholic teachings-readings (Roman, Episcopal, Lutheran, et al), with no focus placed on the descendants of Cain.  Cain, as a son of Adam would have lived a lengthy life, as did Seth, who lived 912 years.  The sons of Cain are then the sons of deception and corruption and should be realized as such.  The reality is they teach a lesson that is actually reflected throughout the subsequent stories in the Bible, with this repetition continuing today.  The sons of Cain are still thriving.
