  • Publication Date: 1889
  • Pages: 216

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The narratives of 1 and 2 Samuel are some of the most exciting and personal narratives of the Old Testament. In this volume, Presbyterian minister Charles S. Robinson draws out 29 lessons from the two books that follow the lives of Samuel, Saul, David, and Solomon–four leaders “whose lives were so individual and yet in many respects so alike.” According to Robinson, “whoever understands those men will have attained a knowledge of human nature which will prove valuable to him as a citizen and a Christian.”

Charles S. Robinson (1829–1889) was an American pastor and writer. He attended Princeton Theological Seminary and Union Theological Seminary before becoming the pastor of the Park Street Presbyterian Church of Troy, New York.

Patrick Simon (1626–1707) was an English theologian and the bishop of Chichester (1689–1891) and Ely (1691–1707). He remained rector at St. Paul’s, Covent Garden in London during the Great Plague (1665–1666). He published numerous sermons and devotional pieces, and his Old Testament commentaries were incorporated into A Critical Commentary and Paraphrase on the Old and New Testament and the Apocrypha with the work of William Lowth, Moses Lowman, Richard Arnald, and Daniel Whitby.

This fascinating volume examines the governmental structure of Israel as it developed in 1 and 2 Samuel. Throughout his analysis of these books, George C.M. Douglas pays particular attention to Samuel, as Israel’s second grandest leader after Moses, analyzing how he stewarded and passed off the three offices of prophet, priest, and supreme ruler through his life and the reigns of Saul and David.

George C.M. Douglas (1826–1904) was educated at the University of Glasgow and at New College in Edinburgh before becoming pastor at Bridge of Weir from 1852–1857. Douglas later became professor of Hebrew at Free Church College in Glasgow, Scotland. Douglas’ familiarity with German, French, and English gave him a wide scope of understanding for his various works.

  • Publisher: T. Nelson and Sons
  • Publication Date: 1840
  • Pages: 465

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

In this study of the character of Samuel, Robert Steel examines how the narratives and characters of the Old Testament, as opposed to the New, present an opportunity to learn from the lives of “men like ourselves,” with “peculiar temptations as well as privileges, and revealed infirmities and well as virtues.” Steel works through the books of Samuel in 24 lessons, from his intriguing calling and the labor of his old age. Drawing out lessons for every-day Christian living, Steel examines the life of Solomon, which touches on “all classes and conditions,” as “one of the brightest examples of holy living and useful labor.”

Robert Steel (1827–1893) was a Presbyterian minister in colonial Australia. He was born in Wales to Scottish parents. He was educated at Aberdeen and Edinburgh universities and earned his PhD from the University of Gottingen. In 1861 he took over the pastorate of Macquarie Street church in Sydney, Australia. He helped establish St. Andrew’s College at the University of Sydney, where he tutored in theology.
