The Idea

I have been teaching Navi (the books of the prophets) to adults for several years now. This blog will be a place to record my ideas and thoughts on my favorite book, the Book of Shmuel. It combines the best qualities of biblical text with the range, sweep, emotion and and power of a modern novel.

Like other biblical books, it contains timeless messages with great relevance. In particular, Shmuel gives much food for thought to  a people trying to rebuild their government and establish a successful sovereignty.
