The time of the judges were turbulent days in Israel's history, marked by a continuing cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. In time, the people decided they would do better under the leadership of a king, and they demanded that God provide them with one.

Samuel, God's anointed prophet, warned they would be getting more than they bargained for, but they continued to insist. The Lord finally provided a king in the person of Saul, and Samuel's warnings came to pass.

In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth look at this historical period beginning with the miraculous birth of Samuel, continuing through Saul's crowning as Israel's first king, and concluding with his tragic death.

Studies include close-up examinations of Hannah, Eli, Saul, David, and Jonathan, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as "Slaying a Giant" and "Respecting God's Anointed."

—ABOUT THE SERIES—

The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur. Each guide provides intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture by examining its parts and incorporates:

  • Extensive, but straight-forward commentary on the text.
  • Detailed observations on overriding themes, timelines, history, and context.
  • Word and phrase studies to help you unlock the broader meaning and apply it to your life.

I have been using John MacArthurs bible study series for almost 2 years now. It has been most enjoyable. I have done about 10 of these books and each one is great. Each one has great insights that could be for any person. They have godly perspective on how we apply the scripture to our lives today and give great background and context to what you’re reading. These books make some of the hardest of books (in the Bible) understandable. This 1 Samuel study is no different.

Not a huge fan of MacArthur but wanted a kindle bible study book on Samuel. Was very good to have in a recent hospital stay. Unlike a workbook the scripture passages are in the kindle book. BEWARE, this is not the NIV translation. The scriptures were supposed to have comments on the side but they were at the end of the passage and I think it had something to do with the kindle format. I would probably buy another in this series.
