"Commentary on Genesis, Vol. 2: Luther on Sin and the Flood" by John Nicholas Lenker is an early 20th-century exploration of Martin Luther's understanding of Genesis, concentrating on the stories of sin and the Flood. It offers spiritual and moral lessons from the Bible, especially the account of Cain's murder of Abel, and the story of Noah and the great flood. The commentary presents Cain as a deceptive figure whose outward appearance hides his evil intentions, also focusing on the deadly effects of sin and the need for justice. The initial analysis prepares the reader for a journey of the impact of wrongdoing on people, the chance for forgiveness, and God's compassion, rooted in the text.
