On the hand, we have the “A” characters, who are supposed to be allusions to the biblical Abel, the brother who’s offering God preferred and who was later killed by his brother Cain. In East of Eden, the main Abel-like characters are Adam Trask, his son Aron and other characters such as Abra Bacon and Alice Trask can be considered as minor Abel’s allusions. These two women will be dealt with now, because Adam and his son Aron will be examined throughout the entire thesis. Alice Trask Alice…

or figurative? What is the meaning of “day” in Genesis? Hours or eons? On the first day, God created the entire universe.

And the earth brought forth…

Adam and Eve were the first two humans made by the hand of God and people have believed this ever since the existence of the Bible. Jesus died for our sins and told us that those who do not sin and worship his Father may go to heaven. God sent down Jesus to tell his followers to follow Him and Jesus because then they may go to heaven.Why is it that Satan is viewed as when he has done nothing wrong? Is he a fall guy? Why do we look down on Satan when he hasn’t killed anyone? Satan only gave Adam…

From the very beginning of Samson’s life, God was at work in making known that there was reason and purpose to his being.

Samson’s mother was given instruction on how to care for herself while carrying her son Samson. She was giving warning to avoid alcohol, specific foods and to never cut his hair because he should be “a…

In East of Eden, John Steinbeck introduces Adam as young, naive boy whose graciousness leads him to be ill-treated by both his father, brother, and future wife. Adam’s refinement and ability to have empathy for others cause him to be physically weaker compared to his brother and to have a mindset that opposes brutality. Adam is unable to see how corrupt his father truly is, unlike his brother Charles, whose naturally dark and violent temperament allows him to see Cyrus’ true form. Similarly,…

(Rom. 4:11) He is an example of faith at its best. Abraham was born about five-hundred years after Noah and his family came out of the ark. He was 75-years old when God appeared to him in Ur and told him to “Get out of your country.” (Gen. 12:1) Now, that would be a hard thing to do, because home is a special…
