Cain and Abel in Text and Tradition - Jewish and Christian Interpretations of the First Sibling Rivalry

The Cain and Abel story is riddled with linguistic ambiguities and narrative gaps. Jewish and Christian interpreters often expanded the story in an attempt to fill the gaps and answer questions. This book traces the interpretive history of Genesis 4.
