But the presence of linguistic and grammatical ambiguities coupled with narrative gaps provided translators and interpreters with a number of points of departure for expanding the story. The result is a number of well established and interpretive traditions shared between Jewish and Christian literature. This book focuses on how the interpretive traditions derived from Genesis 4 exerted significant influence on Jewish and Christian authors who knew rewritten versions of the story. The goal is to help readers appreciate these traditions within the broader interpretive context rather than within the narrow confines of the canon.Themes in biblical narrative ;v. 14.222/.110609Byron John1967-1475825MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789564203321Cain and Abel in text and tradition3690150UNINA
