City of God or City of Cain? – The City E8
BibleProject
Cain and the City
In the biblical imagination cities are the mother, a mother of sorts of protection, a womb for civilization. And so in the same way when you get the story of Cain and he's God says, I'm going to protect you even though you've blown it, you've murdered your brother. I'm giving you the sign of protection and Cain goes out and he then takes his wife, builds a city. So we started talking about how the city is an extension of the tree of knowing good and bad. Or the choice that the humans were faced with at the tree in the garden is set on analogy to the choice that Cain is faced with as he built a city.
