In this episode of The Bible Readers Podcast, we continue our journey through the Book of Genesis and explore the story of Cain and Abel. We’re reading Genesis chapters 4-5 and if you’ve never read it before or if its been a while, take a few minutes before listening to this and open up your Bible and read along. If you’re not sure what translation to use, use the one that you have! And if you don’t have a Bible on hand, use one online! You can find plenty of free Bibles at places like biblegateway.com. I’ll be using the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition but feel free to use any version you prefer. Today, we’ll be looking at the fateful story of Cain and Abel and we’ll take a closer look at the Genealogies that stem from both Cain and Seth. We’ll discuss why the Biblical author takes the time to record such genealogies and what we can take from them today.

Be on the lookout later this week for my interview with Dr. Matthew Tsakanikas, Chair of the Theology Department at Christendom College. I sat down with Dr. Tsakanikas earlier this month to get his insight on reading the book of Genesis and he gave some incredible commentary. Next week, we’ll be reading Genesis Chapters 6-9 so if you want to read along, read those chapters before next Monday.
