Excerpt from Samuel and His Age: A Study in the Constitutional History of IsraelHere are certain conspicuous personalities in the history of the Kingdom of God in the Old Testament, men whose lives form epochs in the opening up of His ways to His people. Moses is immeasurably the grandest of these. Probably the next to him is Samuel, and just as we understand Samuel, his character, his position, his offices, and his work, or fail to understand him, we shall succeed in understanding, or shall fail to understand, very much of Jehovah's dealings with Israel. There is one very marked resem blance between Moses and Samuel - both exercised the three great functions in the Hebrew Commonwealth, those of prophet, priest, and supreme ruler, combining in their own persons three offices which in ordinary circumstances were jealously kept separate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
