Description
The biblical narratives that describe the life of Samson, the hero and judge of ancient Israel has captured the imagination for generations, with his image and persona used in countless literary and media forms. More than a “Hebrew Hercules,” Samson is presented by Dr. Roskoski entirely within the biblical context, and through a series of researched essays, he portrays many of the important historical and theological characteristics of this amazing man and his place in God’s plan for the salvation of mankind. Just a few moments with Dr. Roskoski’s work will serve to immerse the reader in a depth of material and understanding that is found in few other works.Read more
