{"product_id":"king-sauls-asking-barbara-green-9780814651094","title":"King Saul's Asking","description":"\u003cp\u003eWho should lead us? Who should we, as a community, look to for guidance? These questions, as old as humankind, followed the Israelite community upon their return from the Exile: Should they return with Davidic kingship or without it? Their answer was King Saul. Reading Israel's first king as a riddle or the epitome of Israel's experience with kingship, King Saul's Asking explores the characterization of the figure Saul, the question of the apparent silence of God, the multiple complexities of responsibility for kingship, and the readers'opportunities for transformation. It provides a new approach to the Old Testament, supplying the reader with not only an in-depth character study but also an interesting, insightful read, and opportunity for transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters are \"Asking a Child (1 Samuel 1-3),\" \"Seeking a Refuge (1 Samuel 4-7),\" \"Request for a King (1 Samuel 8-12),\" \"Obedience Wanted, Wanting (1 Samuel 13-15)\" \"Suspecting the Dreaded (1 Samuel 16-19)\" \"Futile Searching (1 Samuel 20-23),\" \"Sensing the Silent (1 Samuel 24-26),\" and \"Final Questions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReceive \u003ci\u003eFrom Earth's Creation to John's Revelation\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eFREE \u003c\/b\u003ewith the purchase of two or more \u003ci\u003eInterfaces \u003c\/i\u003evolumes.
