The Kingdom of Cain
Finding God in the Literature of Darkness
Book • 2025
In 'The Kingdom of Cain', Andrew Klavan delves into the dark side of human nature to discover how one can find joy and beauty in a world filled with evil and suffering.
The book looks at three murders in history, including Cain's killing of Abel, and analyzes the art created from these horrific events by artists such as Fyodor Dostoevsky and Alfred Hitchcock.
Klavan argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God's ability to redeem it all.
He emphasizes that making beauty out of a world shot through with evil and injustice is a task not just for artists but for every life rightly lived.
