A Hero Like You and Me

Picture

We are very happy to be publishing an excellent article by Angela Martin today. The article is about the biblical hero Sampson (Judges 13-16) and is an adaptation of one of the author’s recent website posts. 

Samson is the archetypal strong man for all time – a Schwarzenegger for the ages, a hero for the long-haul – but if we read the biblical account closely, there are some problems in the picture.

​In the article, “Samson: ​Seriously Flawed, Used Seriously,” we see the human side of Samson.  But there is good news.  Read this refreshing article to see how the lessons we can learn from this hero also apply directly to us.  You can read it here.
