Thank you for this tip! I was having trouble getting the book also, but now I can start. It sounds intriguing, especially because I'm non religious

I think non-religious people will have an easier time with this book than will very devout readers, especially devout readers who favor a strict interpretation of the Bible.

I found 'Killing Abel' to be very creative. It helped me think out of the box on the story told in the Bible. What I liked most about the book was that it is very detailed and tackles everything I would have wanted to know about the Beginning. I will recommend it to all who would love to understand the genesis story well. This book is a great place to start from.

I loved that Tieman filled in the missing pieces of the Bible story. It is an interesting read and definitely gets a 4 out of 4 stars from me.

This is an interesting book to read. I like reading biblical books. This book talks about 3 stories. Firstly it talks about Adam and Eve. The book tells us how Adam and Eve were banished from the garden of Eden. Then the story Cain and Abel. How Cain killed Abel. Then The story of Noah and building the ark.

Reading all these reviews has been very interesting. I typically don't enjoy reading books about the Bible since I'm not Christian, but I'm curious to read some interesting takes on the "classic" stories we've all heard.

I find the description of Killing Abel intriguing. How the author's mind is above to run so wild to full in the gaps that he considered missing.
My interest is piqued.

This book may seem to take liberties but is well thought out and even better written. Religious or not any person can benefit from reading that makes you think. At the very least 3 out of 4.

A new perspective for biblic stories with the same plot. Even though I haven't read the book yet the review and the comments about the book makes it look very interesting and well planned story. Therefore I rate the book 4 out 4 stars.

The book gives a fiction version of the biblical story of the book of Genesis. It is well written and has a lot to offer. The book is professionally written. What I like about the book is that the author was using human imagination to fill the minute gaps of the bible in a way. I recommend this book to any practicing Christian who wants to strengthen their faith in God and who are interested in parenting. I will give four out of four stars because it is related to our everyday life.

The book is very entertaining. Considering the author's imaginations which keeps the readers in suspense, I can rate it 4 out of 4 stars .

The plots in Killing Abel has not changed a single context in the words of the Bible, but the author's imagination fills in the gaps which led to difficult acknowledgement to some of the readers of the Bible. I really think this is the book is amazing, that is why I will rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

I agree with you. The fact that the author fills in the blacks with his creative imaginations without changing biblical texts make this book amazing!

I'm sure you'll like it. I thought it would be the obvious biblical stuffs that I've been reading since childhood, but I was surprised to find it not only suspenseful, but also interesting. Good luck!

I also realized that Amazon ran out of the book, but I still got my copy from OBC. Thanks for enlightening others.

Sure it is! I'm sure you'll like the author's perspectives on the creation story and may be (just may be) you might find yourself a religious person

To be honest, after reading this book, I think non-religious people will enjoy it as well. Even if they have no previous knowledge of the biblical stories, the book covers it for them.
