Volume 8 in the series, Mastering the Old Testament, this commentary on 1, 2 Samuel by Dr. Kenneth Chafin reflects a painstaking analysis of the biblical text. Chafin cares equally about the fine details and the broad scope of each passage in 1, 2 Samuel. He is particularly adept at making the obscurities of ancient Israelite history understandable to the modern reader. Biblical antiquity comes alive in this commentary and speaks to our contemporary situation through compelling illustrations and challenging applications.
