The Rise Of Samson: A Biblical Novel
202 pages · First published 2021
Samson grows from a child marked by a divine calling into a man whose extraordinary strength makes him both a weapon against Israel’s enemies and a target for those who fear him. His victories over the Philistines are complicated by impulsive choices, troubled relationships, and the tension between personal desire and the purpose set over his life. As fame and conflict increase, Samson must reckon with the fact that physical power cannot substitute for obedience or wisdom. Jeffrey D. Meredith expands the biblical Judges narrative into a historical novel focused on the human ambitions, loyalties, failures, and faith surrounding Israel’s famously strong judge.
