Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, David, Goliath, the Witch of Endor, Absalom, the Song of Songs - the very names conjure up visions of intrigue, romance and daring. But the "Golden Age" of Israel supplies us with far more than marvelous tales of adventure and romance. Behind the stories lie enduring principles which are as valid today as they were then. Our very language owes many of its figures of speech to that era.
This book is part of a multi-volume biblical survey course. The twenty-nine studies in this volume cover not only the events of the greatest era of Israelite history, but also the "Wisdom Literature" which dates from the time. In addition, the lessons provide practical applications which can help us in our lives today. Among the subjects covered are: peer pressure, loyalty vs. expediency, friendship, leadership, repentance and romantic love.
The author also includes an essay on whether the biblical texts are reliable and historically accurate.
Other volumes in this series explore different periods of Old Testament history. Titles include:
Beginnings and Patriarchs
