| Summary | "Commentary on Genesis, Vol. 2: Luther on Sin and the Flood" by John Nicholas Lenker is a theological commentary written in the early 20th century. This work delves into Martin Luther's interpretation of the biblical book of Genesis, specifically focusing on the narratives surrounding sin, particularly Cain's murder of Abel, and the story of Noah and the Flood. The text aims to provide spiritual and moral insights derived from these scripture passages, emphasizing the relevance of these themes to contemporary Christian life. The beginning of this commentary introduces readers to Martin Luther's reflections on the story of Cain, highlighting the profound consequences of sin as exemplified by the first murder. In this section, Cain's motivations for killing Abel are explored in detail, alongside a portrayal of Cain as a hypocrite whose external demeanor belies his murderous intent. The text emphasizes themes of divine justice and human accountability, illustrating how God discerns and judges Cain's actions. Luther's analysis encourages readers to recognize the weight of their sins and the destructive nature of hypocritical behavior. This opening sets the stage for a deep theological examination of sin’s impact on humanity, drawing connections to broader themes of repentance and divine mercy that will likely resonate throughout the volume.
