About this episode
Do you ever skip over books like 1 and 2 Samuel in your Bible reading plan? Do they just seem like a bunch of blood, names and numbers? Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss how there’s a lot more to these books than you might think, and they play an important role in the whole story of the Bible.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- When we get to the books of Samuel, what is the story so far?
- What are things about the books of Samuel that could be hard to understand?
- Who wrote these books, when, and why?
- What are the major themes?
- Who are the major figures and do they show up again in the story?
- What is God up to in 1st and 2nd Samuel and why does it feel different than the Pentateuch and the Prophets?
