Review of Killing Abel
[Following is a volunteer review of "Killing Abel" by Michael Tieman.]
In Killing Abel by Michael Tieman, the story of humanity's beginnings is retold. God placed the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, in the lush Garden of Eden and tasked the angel Lucifer with answering their questions. However, succumbing to his temptations, Lucifer transformed into a serpent and deceitfully convinced the woman to partake of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Despite having misgivings, Adam was unable to resist Eve and also ate from the tree. Their eyes were opened, revealing their nakedness and the true form of Lucifer, causing them to feel embarrassed and repulsed. The book details the lives of Adam and Eve after their expulsion from Eden and the events that shaped the generations to come.
The author of this book was a true master of creative writing, bringing new life and perspective to the central themes of the Christian religion. With a writing style that was both insightful and elegant, the author tackled vital issues with aplomb, weaving in thought-provoking questions throughout the narrative. For example, the children of Adam asked poignant questions about God's actions in the story of Cain and Abel, which are expertly answered by Adam in the following paragraphs.
The language used was simple yet powerful, making it easy for readers to grasp the author's message. What sets this book apart is the level of detail and explanation the author provides. Each character and event was meticulously described, bringing them to vivid life in the reader's mind. The author delved into the deeper meanings behind the punishment and curse of Adam and Eve, the significance of sacrifice, and God's reasons for protecting Cain and instructing Noah to build an ark. They offered a unique take on the gaps in the original biblical stories, all while staying true to the spirit of the original text and referencing key Bible verses to reinforce its authenticity.
This book was a true gem, and I have nothing but praise for it. It was an absorbing and enlightening work of historical fiction that went far beyond what its title implied. The author masterfully sheds light on God's forgiving nature, leaving the reader with a newfound appreciation for the benefits of a virtuous and remorseful lifestyle as well as the consequences of disobedience, treachery, and rebellion.
There was nothing I disliked about this book. I was also impressed by the exceptional editing because there were no errors in it. Given these, I rate Killing Abel by Michael Tieman 5 out of 5 stars. I gave it a perfect rating because I enjoyed everything in it and there was nothing to affect my enjoyment. I recommend this book to fans of biblical tales and lovers of historical fiction.
