“The author’s purpose is to use the narrative of Cain and Abel to teach an important lesson on worship. What kind of worship is pleasing to God? Worship pleasing to God is a worship that springs from a pure heart.” (Page 97)

“The account opens with a clear, concise statement about the Creator and the creation. Its simplicity belies the depth of its content. These seven Hebrew words are the foundation of all that is to follow in the Bible. The purpose of the statement is threefold: to identify the Creator, to explain the origin of the world, and to tie the work of God in the past to the work of God in the future.” (Page 50)

“His theological perspective might be summarized in two points: (1) the author draws a line connecting the God of the fathers and the God of the Abrahamic and Sinaitic covenants with the God who created the world; and (2) the author shows that the call of the patriarchs and the Sinaitic covenant have as their ultimate goal the reestablishment of God’s original purpose in creation. In a word, the biblical covenants are marked off as the way forward to a new covenant and a new creation.” (Page 49)

“Instead, its meaning is to be found in the fact that God chooses the small and the despised burning bush as his medium of revelation, and he waits to see how sensitive Moses is toward the insignificant and small things of life before he invests him with larger tasks.” (Page 364)

“The description of the garden of Eden deliberately foreshadows the tabernacle as it is described later in the Pentateuch. The garden, like the tabernacle, was the place where humankind could enjoy the fellowship and presence of God.” (Page 75)
