Description
On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the basic theological precepts of 1 and 2 Samuel before introducing Justin Jackson, professor of English at Hillsdale College.
First and Second Samuel tell the story of Saul and David, Israel’s first two kings. These Old Testament books depict the importance of the relationship between father and son and the consequences of sin for the sinner, his family, and his nation. While David’s transgressions lead to great tragedy for himself and Israel, his penitence shows a path toward redemption.
First Samuel opens with the stories of two faithful parents, Hannah and Eli. Hannah raises her son, Samuel, to be faithful, while Eli fails to correct his sons, Hophni and Phineas, and their sins bring defeat to Israel.
