1 and 2 Samuel

The "Interpretation Bible Studies" is a series of concise study guides that combine a heritage of scholarship with fresh and dynamic approaches to reading the Bible. Designed for group or private use, each volume contains maps, illustrations, discussion questions, definitions of key terms and other background information. A "Leader's Guide" at the back of each book and suggestions for group discussion are also included. Part of the above series, this volume covers the history of Israel's transition from the time of the Judges to the reign of King David. It takes in some of the greatest narratives of the Old Testament, including the anointing of David as King, the story of David and Bathsheba and the rebellion of Absalom. The ten-unit approach is followed consistently in this series, making it flexible and easy to use for instructors and students alike.
