First and Second Samuel (Westminster Bible Companion)
By Eugene H. Peterson




Summary: Clear and Challenging Commentary
Rating: 5

This commentary is readable and challenging personally. It is excellent for personal use, teaching and sermon preperation. Peterson does not go into minute detail but uses the stories of Hannah, Samuel, Saul, and David to challenge individuals today. I have never been disappointed in a Eugene Peterson book. I have not read the other commentaries in this series but intend to and hope they are also readable and easily applied to life today.



Summary: Excellent homiletical commentary
Rating: 5

Eugene Peterson has written a wonderful commentary on 1 and 2 Samuel. While he does not get bogged down in the original language, he deals with language issues and theological problems adequately enough for the typical pastor. Peterson also makes practical application of the text in a biblical way. Peterson is reliably evangelical and reformed. As I preached through 1 Samuel I found this book along with the commentary by D. R. Davis my two favorite resources.
