Course Description :

Didn't take Part I of this class last semester? Not to worry, you will jump right in! 

Join us as we continue our journey through the first Israelite Kingdom of King Saul, plagued both by external enemies, Philistines, as well as internal enemies  (imagined and real). 

David, waiting in the wings for his royal moment, not only becomes Israel’s second king, but its most revolutionary leader: succeeding in creating a national identity for Israel, forming a federal system of governance, as well laying the foundation for the central religious shrine- the Temple.

If this reads like a plot lifted from a movie or novel, it’s not.  The events are true, the characters involved are family and this is our story.

Our text will be the Books of Samuel I and II found in the Tanach (Bible).
