A Bible Study on a Page


A Bible Study on a Page


A review of Rose Publishing's pamphlet:  "Samson"


I think that what impressed me most about this study of Samson was its comprehensiveness, given the fact that everything was included within the bounds of a pamphlet! In fact, if someone were to go on vacation, or to fly abroad, then to find an opportunity arising for a Bible study, the pages of this booklet would bring out the major points, and the questions listed below would give areas for contemplation. I think the author hit the most important part: that Samson, though notably erring, had a great and gracious God who heard his prayers and who used him as a deliverer, despite his salient weaknesses. As is usual for Rose Publishing offerings, there are maps, background information, clear explanations and a colorful, attractive format. We are not left to guess! The role of a judge in Israel is explained. The contrasting attitudes of Samson's parents are charted. The vow of a Nazirite is outlined. All very good! I received a pamphlet in return for a frank review.
