Jeremy Bunch - Hard Hearts & Monarchs: Deuteronomy and 1 Samuel

The George Buchanan Forum by The George Buchanan Forum

Episode notes

Recorded October 22, 2021 at the 2021 Fall Forum in Moscow, Idaho. The George Buchanan Forum was created to further develop consistent Christian thought through the integration of theology, Natural Law, and history.

The interpretations of the people of Israel asking for a king in the narrative of 1 Samuel are varied, particularly in connection with Deuteronomy chapter 17, where Moses anticipates this historic event. This talk makes observations from both Deuteronomy and 1 Samuel in order to develop a consistent interpretation of the meaning of Israel’s significant shift in political governance.
