The story of Samson in brief outline is well known by many. However, the details, which are not so well known, Jeff Lucas manages to expand to some 220 pages of intriguing reading. BUT, the book should come with a ‘health warning’.
Over the last 60 plus years of Bible study I have amassed a wide range of Reformed and Puritan literature. I have also enjoyed the creative writing styles of poets and literary scholars of this world. However, I have never before come across a writer quite like Jeff Lucas. He is certainly a very readable, accomplished and apparently scholarly writer, regularly referring to the meanings of Hebrew words. He uses his own illustrations to memorable effect and often harks back to those truths reflected upon quite skilfully. His book is well presented and helpfully referenced.
