Book title

[Ana-Maria-Diana]

I think that the title is just a metaphor because the death of Abel is the first story of the Bible that somehow leaves some blank spaces and some room for interpretation. Also I think that by using the verb "killing" the author states that the book will clarify some aspects but still not completly because the killing is from Cain's perspective.

Haha.

As I read, I'm beginning to think it should be called 'Revisions.

But I think I may understand the name, maybe the authors intention was to show that he's writing from the human side of things, the relatable side.

you make a great point here and I appreciate the book title a little more. I like your title too though!

Thank you.
Glad I could help

[Dee_Robert]

I felt the same way, I thought this was just about that one story when I started the book!

Haha!, then surprise, surprise
He gives you three different Bible stories

True! But it was a pleasant surprise. I did NOT regret starting the book

Neither did I, it was intriguing to say the least

I think this title was not relevant. The author would have considered another title. My opinion!

Sometimes you start writing a book and you’ve chosen a title already but the book seems to write itself.

This is true, this happens sometimes.

Then why not change it later? After the book has completed writing itself?

Most times I rely on the title to give me an idea of what the book is about.

So that I have an idea which direction I'm being taken.

I agree with you, but like some people gave already said, he may have been going for a catchy title, and placed the readers interest as priority over the books direction.

I think the essence of this particular book title was to create a catchy title. So many people I believe actually decided to check out or even read the book because they felt it was another story entirely. I like the title.

[Dee_Robert]

I think a book title should be catchy and inviting, it should not necessarily cover the content of the entire book. For me, the title is well chosen.

The title actually attracted me to try reading it. I think it's catchy but misleading

In what sense was it misleading you? I liked the title, then I read the summary of the book so I knew what to expect.

Of course, a book can still disappoint after that but for me it's not about the title anymore.

Maybe in the content of the book revolving entirely around the name
Yeah, although whether a book disappoints or not is irrelevant as the title as already made you read it
Which was its desired intention

Although this book didn't entirely disappoint

[Dee_Robert]

Titles are based on author's judgements, so long as it gives an idea of what the book entails, whether in part or in whole.

Exactly. This is exactly true
A very valid point

Hm.
Clarify some aspects, that's new but understandable

[writestuff]

I think it is. Although it covers Adam and Eve till Noah and the flood, its such a huge event that happened.

Well put, I totally agree.

Yeah it was, the first murder

[Kelyn]

I think the title was a bit deceptive. I thought the book was going to focus on the story/relationship between Cain and Abel, and it did not. I believe a different title would have been more appropriate.

[Chigozie Anuli Mbadugha]

I agree that the title does not refĺect the scope of topics and events discussed in this book. However, it is a catchy title and therefore I like it.

[Claris L]

Do you think the book title is correct?
Because the book does not majorly concentrate on Abel, it's covers the Bible all the to the time of Noah.

Given that the book does not majorly concentrate on Abel, it might've been better to title it as The Old Testament: Rewritten or some sort of title that encompasses the time up until Noah. Maybe From Genesis to the Flood, for example.
