Book Description
The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on every page of the Bible. In this 12-week study through the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, pastor Ryan Kelly offers insights into God's character through the stories of the prophet Samuel and Israel's first kings, Saul and David. With the inauguration of a monarchy in Israel, we see God's continued care for his people as he raises up leaders and promises to be faithful to his covenant by establishing a kingdom that will never pass away.

1 Samuel
Author: Hope A Blanton
Publisher: 19baskets, Incorporated
ISBN: 9781946862013
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
If you're a woman who feels like you don't have time to study the Bible in a deep and meaningful way, this is the book for you. 1 Samuel is a combination of Chris's ability to unpack scripture in deep, practical ways and Hope's ability to create questions that guide the reader and apply God's word. Designed to be completed in just twenty minutes, each study is both substantive and time efficient and is useful for individual and group studies. What Others are Saying: "In a culture where many have little knowledge of the Bible, and question the relevance of the Old Testament specifically, studies like this are increasingly important. By asking the reader to think through the passages on their own, then orienting them in the place and time of both the author and hearers, this study helps bridge the gap between now and then and points us to what is to come." Kristi James, Acquisitions Editor for P&R Books "I felt God's heart for women jumping off the page. The questions brought out a rich balance of biblical history and emotional responses to God's Spirit at work. It was a joy to delve deeply into the word of God in a framework compatible to the life and responsibilities of a woman." -Heidi Faulkner, missionary for Campus Crusade for Christ "I appreciate the combination of historical context, current application, emotional honesty, and connection to personal story. I love the use of the words like 'hurt' and 'scared' in the reflection questions as it draws out the truth and messiness of our emotional experience in our relationship with God. These studies have depth of richness and authenticity while being brief and attainable for women who have full lives and yet are committed to study the Bible." -Stephenie Craig, LCSW, pastor's wife and therapist Christine B. Gordon, MATS, is wife to Michael, who is an ordained PCA pastor, and mother of three. She earned her master of arts in theological studies at Covenant Seminary. When she has time she loves to sleep, walk, and sew, in that order. Hope A. Blanton, MSW, is wife to Ray and mother of three. She earned her master's in clinical social work at Temple University. Currently she works as the women's ministry equipper at Redeemer PCA of Lincoln, Nebraska. She loves good food, making people laugh, and being outside.

1 Samuel
Author: John F. MacArthur
Publisher: Harperchristian Resources
ISBN: 9780718034726
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The time of the judges were turbulent days in Israel's history, marked by a continuing cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. In time, the people decided they would do better under the leadership of a king, and they arrogantly demanded that God provide them with one. Samuel, God's anointed prophet, warned they would be getting more than they bargained for--taxes, military service, wars, and oppression--but they continued to insist. The Lord finally provided a king in the person of Saul, and Samuel's warnings came to pass. In this study, John MacArthur guides readers through an in-depth look at this historical period beginning with the miraculous birth of Samuel, continuing through Saul's crowning as Israel's first king, and concluding with his tragic death. Studies include close-up examinations of Hannah, Eli, Saul, David, and Jonathan, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as "Slaying a Giant" and "Respecting God's Anointed." The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.

The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel
Author: Robert Alter
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393070255
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
