Samson: A Biblical Hero challenges the modern caricature of Israel’s strongest judge. Too often, Samson is portrayed as a reckless failure or a cautionary tale of wasted potential.

He has been stolen from generations of young Christians who needed his example to learn to fight in the spiritual war. But what if we’ve misunderstood him? In this bold reexamination, Dr. Owen Anderson recovers Samson as a biblical hero, as one appointed by God not merely to lead ...
