The Serpent in Samuel
A Messianic Motif
Book • 2020
In 'The Serpent in Samuel: A Messianic Motif', Brian A. Verrett argues that the books of Samuel contain a deliberate serpent motif, derived from Genesis 3, to heighten expectations for the coming Messiah.
He examines characters like Goliath and Nahash as serpentine figures, demonstrating how these motifs point to the seed of David as the promised victor over evil.
The book combines rigorous exegesis with whole-Bible biblical theology to explore this theme.
