This new book stresses the following points in seeking to identify what was the Mark of Cain: The fact that it is essential to understand that the Mark of Cain was not something external to Cain personallyThe early narratives in Genesis cannot be understood properly without an appreciation of the fact that these narratives have very strong symbolic teachings associated with them relating to the Holy TempleSolid comparative studies of the specific texts in Genesis relating to this story with other Biblical passages will pay great dividends in helping to understand what the Mark of Cain wasThe early geography of Genesis helps us to better understand what the Mark of Cain wasIn this book, we propose a number of interesting and thought provoking suggestions about Cain and Abel age's at the time when Abel diedAn alternate proposal concerning the Biblical translation of the "Land of Nod."The importance of the concept of separation and its significance in helping to identify the Mark of Cain Features of this volumeEasy to read writing styleIn depth examination of this issueA strong reliance on developing a greater understanding of the Hebrew text of Genesis with a specific focus on ancient Hebrew scholarship concerning this subjectA strong focus on developing biblical themes and types to help explain questions from the Biblical texts which might not be so clear on the surfaceA deep reverence for the Holy Scriptures
