Annual Bible Study
Every great work of art conveys an element of tension. The sculptures of Michelangelo present creatures frozen in motion, creating a unique statuesque tension. This artistic tension is also an integral part of narrative literature. Stories are saturated with romantic, ethical, and spiritual tensions. These tense themes have found themselves embodied in the fictitious lives of Othello and Desdemona, Rhett and Scarlett, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
Long before the patrons of art, books, and box office were entertained by exploiting the tragic and comedic tensions of their culture, the writer of 1 and 2 Samuel exposed the existence of these tensions in human life. The prophetic history of Hebrew Scripture does not dreamily begin with "Once upon a time," nor does it sentimentally end with "and they lived happily ever after." First and Second Samuel begin, end, and are filled with the political, theological, relational, and spiritual tensions that saturate and invigorate our existence. These four "life" tensions (political, theological, relational, and spiritual) will provide the framework for the study of 1 and 2 Samuel.
This Teaching Guide for the Smyth & Helwys Annual Bible Study on the books of 1 and 2 Samuel includes teaching options, a suggested worship outline, and approaches for leading discussions. The study examines biblical background, history of interpretation, and the themes of spirituality, ministry, and theology. It also includes relevant lesson plans for teaching children and youth.
James C. Dant is pastor of Highland Hills Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia. He also serves as Adjunct Professor in the Christianity Department of Mercer University. He is a regular contributor to the Smyth & Helwys Sunday school series Formations and Uniform, as well as to the news journal Baptists Today. He is married and has three daughters.
