The story of Cain and Abel is one of sibling rivalry and murder. It's shocking to realize that there is only one generation between the Bible's story of creation and the first homicide. Mankind's descent into sinfulness was fast and severe. Cain and Abel's story is a brief account. It's only 16 verses long, but it paints a powerful picture of sin, judgment, and surprisingly, grace. Renowned Old Testament scholar Tremper Longman III explores this famous passage in his online course on Genesis. This featured video comes from his course.
