Very well said, it is because of Cain's jealousy and rage towards his younger brother that caused this sin. It is indeed explained in the Bible.Nerea wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 08:47 It does specify. Cain killed Abel because he was jealous of him. Why? Because God accepted Abel's sacrifices, but rejected Cain's sacrifices.(Ref: Gen 4:3-8) "His rejection of Cain’s sacrifice resulted in the wrong disposition being made clearly manifest by Cain. “The works of the flesh” now began to be openly produced by Cain: “enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger.”
As for the book's motives, I won't comment on that.

This is very true. When someone becomes envious, they are capable of doing some crazy things, more so at a time when blessings from God and parents were held in such high regard.Nerea wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 08:47 It does specify.

The only distinction I see is the author's ability to present more targeted facts as to why he thinks Cain became jealous of Abel and resorted to killing him
