Samson: a Biblical Hero with Dr. Owen Anderson
Dr. Owen Anderson, Head Pastor of Christ the King Reformed Church and professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University joins me to talk about his latest book Samson: a Biblical Hero.
We have been taught in sermons and Sunday School to treat Samson as just a deeply flawed and naive man full of lust and ego. Dr. Anderson explains that, despite Samson's imperfections, we may be reading between the lines to accuse him of things he may not have done.
Dr. Anderson argues that a Biblical understanding of Samson as a strong and humble hero points to Christ. Rather than blindly follow influencers like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate who may resemble more the mixed bag stereotype of Samson we've been taught, Dr. Anderson teaches that Christian young men should see the Biblical Samson himself as a better role model.
