The Message of Samuel: Personalities, Potential, Politics and Power.
(eBook)
In the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, we witness the transition of Israel from tribal confederacy to established monarchy. And, as Mary Evans shows in this passage-by-passage commentary, during such a transition questions of identity and power are unavoidable. In the aftermath of the decline, of the judges, priests abuse their priestly priviledges; Israelites covet the centralized authority of their ungodly neighbors; and a throne is won, forsaken, redeemed, lost, and found again. Throughout this era we see, hidden behind the faults and failings of Israel's nesst and brightest, the faithfulness of a God who looks on the heart and direcs the path of every king and kingdom.
In this insightful, readable commentary on 1 and 2 Samuel, Mary J. Evans reveals the faithfulness of God that endures behind the faults and failings of Israel's best and brightest, a faithfulness that looks on the heart and directs the path of every king and kingdom. This commentary offers accessible discussion for students, teachers, and anyone looking to delve deeper into the text.
