It is a very thought provoking read. Happy reading!Angel Tochukwu wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 06:05 As one who is quite familiar with the Bible, I can recognize fiction from truth and treat it as such, but this would seem so confusing to one who isn't as grounded as I am.

Unfortunately, I haven't read this book yet and although I'm worried about the stretched poetic license you mentioned, I would endeavour to do so as soon as possible (it really does sound interesting).

To some extent, I believed it was possible because a father's wrongdoing might be traced down to his third generation. It's possible that the mark on children because of the father's action isn't an exaggeration.

I agree! The author stretches a lot in the book.Nazzo wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 07:06 Another interesting depiction by the author was Cain's mark. I thought the author really stretched his poetic license in calling Cain's mark an angel. In my opinion and from my understanding of the Bible, Cain's mark was placed by God to protect him from the harsh ramifications of his punishment. But this was different in the book.

The writer was simply telling a story. He wanted to use the story to explain and illustrate his thoughts concerning the origin and foundations of man. A lot like talking about philosophy through stories. I think he used creativity to achieve that and he said it in the introduction; that his goal is to explain things as simply as possible.Nazzo wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 07:06 Another interesting depiction by the author was Cain's mark.

I totally agree with you. At some point i felt the author was over telling the story. He added alot I found this subject uninteresting.Angel Tochukwu wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 06:05 As one who is quite familiar with the Bible, I can recognize fiction from truth and treat it as such, but this would seem so confusing to one who isn't as grounded as I am.
