Welcome to another episode of the Tsur Institute Podcast!
In this episode, Dan and Yohanan discuss the Biblical motifs in the Book of Samuel. A motif is a word or idea that recurs throughout a literary work and is used to convey a message. Often, tracing motifs reveals the author’s intention that cannot be identified through a superficial reading.
What are the motifs in the Book of Samuel? And how do the heights of King Saul and Goliath influence our understanding of 1 and 2 Samuel? The answers are all on this episode.
Happy listening!
