The story of Samson is one of the most exciting and intriguing in the whole of Scripture. As the sub-title suggests, it is a simultaneous insight into his incredible strength and persistent weakness. We marvel at the thrilling accounts of unorthodox battles and awe inspiring demonstrations of physical power. Sadly, we also wonder at his apparent inability to learn from his own mistakes as he follows his passions to their inevitable end. This rollercoaster of a story sweeps us from the rich promises accompanying his birth, though the tragedies and triumphs of his life. The story almost ends with the pitiable sight of him as the blind captive of his life-long enemies the Philistines. Yet, there is still one surprising twist to this epic tale

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This insightful look at one of Israel's unconventional Judges is good for group bible study and discussion, especially as some of Jones' assumptions should be challenged. Valuable lessons are brought out of Judges chapters 13-16 although Samson is shown to be neither very spiritual nor godly, despite being included in Hebrews chapter 11 as a great man of faith. Each chapter has a felicitous section on the person of Christ, setting his perfection and value to us against the chequered character of Samson. Questions are then given to put things into the perspectives of biblical and contemporary life.
