1-2 Samuel (Knowing The Bible)(Paperback)

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.

The books of 1–2 Samuel show God’s continued care for his people in providing for them a king and establishing a center of worship. Through the transfer of power from Saul to David, God’s providential guidance and sovereign control prevail. Walking readers through these important books chronicling the history of ancient Israel, this study guide points to God’s enduring covenant with David and his lineage, leading to the King of kings: Jesus Christ.
