SAMUEL
From the Danger of Chaos to the Danger of Power
Samuel’s two books are filled with stories we remember from childhood—faithful Samuel, tragic Saul, the shepherd boy David, the giant Goliath, and steadfast friend Jonathan. But behind these familiar stories is a larger drama of God’s active and persistent involvement with His reluctant people.
Hold on! It’s a roller-coaster ride!
These books take us careening from the heights of Samuel’s prophetic ministry to the depths of Saul’s dark end. Then they carry us through the highs and lows of David’s checkered career.
Theologian Alden Thompson probes behind the stories to reveal how the very power that overcomes the danger of chaos becomes a danger itself.
We watch as God’s people struggle with the question “How can God’s will best be realized on earth?” We watch them stand at the crossroads and choose their course. But they do not journey alone. God goes with them, even when they sometimes choose the wrong path.
