Samuel the Prophet (Classic Reprint)

A cts of the Apostles prove the significance and importance of Samuel scareer :H egave them judges until Samuel the Prophet. ACTS xiii. 20. ,A ll the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after. ACTS iii. 24. Until Samuel; from Samuel these suggestive prepositions indicate that this great life was a hinge, a bridge, a connecting-link, a meeting-place between two epochs a place where two seas met. The study of Samuel the Prophet is specially helpful to those who are called to live amid Time sloud stunning tide. He was no recluse, dwelling apart in dreamy mysticism. Both as statesman and politician in the best sense, he was called upon to play a great part in his peoples history. He was a king-maker and a kingbreaker. What Bernard of Clairvaux was to the Middle A ges, that, but without his faults, Samuel was in early Hebrew history. His life does not seem to have been often told: I trust, therefore, that this book may fulfil a distinct need; but I would like to express my special obligation to Dean Stanley s Jewish Church, and Rev. W. J. Deane s Samuel and Saul. Many other writers have supplied me with the local colouring, with which I have endeavoured to make an accurate presentation of Samuel the Prophet, and necessarily of Saul the King.
