- Cain and Abel: A Teaching on Generosity
Genesis 1:1-6:8
There is no doubt that Cain’s fratricide deserves our most forceful condemnation. Cain is warned by God not to yield to the demon of jealousy, but he miserably and most devastatingly fails, and kills his brother without, it seems, the slightest sense of remorse. And if we limited ourselves to the literal reading of the text, our case against him would be closed just as fast as we opened it. But if we go a little deeper, the story is not as black and white as it seems.
