GearTalk Biblical Theology

In the second episode of our series on 1 Samuel, Brian Verrett considers Adam and his calling. This episode, like the first episode on 1 Samuel, provides important background information to studying 1 Samuel (and the rest of the Bible!).

In this episode Jason interviews Tom. The conversation begins with a question about becoming a Christian who loves the peoples of the world. How does biblical theology relate to missions? Jason also asks Tom about the beginnings of Hands to the Plow and HTTP's current work training pastors and leaders.

A look at Old Testament passages describing the coming Messiah as God.

Link to the first book Jason talked about — Five Views on Christ in the Old Testament.

Brian Verrett's The Serpent in Samuel: A Messianic Motif thoroughly explores the author of Samuel's focus on the crushing of the serpent, a theme introduced in Gen 3:15 and built upon in subsequent Scripture.
