2 Samuel 23–24: On David's Final Words, the Temple's Future Address, and 1–2 Samuel's Messianic Finale (Ep. 110)
The end of 2 Samuel is odd: it portrays the king at cruising altitude and then describes his bumpy descent. What's going on here? Alex Duke chats with Jim Hamilton and Sam Emadi about the messianic finale of 2 Samuel 23–24.
Customer Reviews
SAHM and disciple maker
My husband is a youth pastor, as build leaders for the student ministry, we are equipping them in Biblical Theology as we read through the Bible annually with our team and students. Bible Talk is an excellent resource to help us diligently walk through the scriptures on our own and with those that we lead. I'm a SAHM and daily, I'm challenged and encouraged in my thinking of the scriptures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Such a helpful addition to my devotional time
I’m a stay at home mother, and I just started listening to Bible Talk as I caught up with Priscilla talk, and what a helpful resource! Right now in the stage of life with little people around and not as much time or energy to devote to deep Bible study, I’ve found it so helpful to be listening to the podcasts alongside my Bible reading. I hope to read through the whole Old and New Testaments again this year, and this podcast has been a bolster/prod to do exactly that and glean even more from my daily readings. Thank you all so much for the careful work that you do in showing themes through the whole narrative of Scripture and not being afraid to tackle harder theological questions.
So helpful
This podcast is an incredible balance of fun and interesting, but also extremely instructive and informative. i’m very thankful for these guys and their dedication to God.
