I & II Samuel (Day Course)

OT538 I & II Samuel (3 credits)
Fridays, 1.45 pm-5.00 pm

The books of Samuel invite the reader to a journey from the theological summit of messianism to the valley of human depravities.  On this journey we will encounter famed heroes and failed fathers, loyal servants and lowly scumbags.  This journey welcomes us to the house of David, on a guided tour through his palace to private spaces behind doors where we will encounter acts of magnanimity as well as manipulation.  This class is designed with the hope of inviting you on a transformational journey as we deal with contemporary issues concerning leadership, parenting, role of women, friendship, and servanthood.
