| Description: |
Through the theologically rich treatment of these biblical books, Jensen explores what makes these texts important for us. He suggests that we read First and Second samuel because they reveal the complexities of the human person, the ambiguities of our social arrangemnts as nations, and God's agency in a conflicted world. Jensen notes that as we are shaped by and grapple with the biblical stories, we are invited to find our own stories within them. He says "What keeps us coming back to faith is its stories: stories that tell the truth about the human condition, our shared corporate life, and the life God gives to the world." |
