“The books of Samuel outline the rise of Israelite monarchy but, more than that, point to the underlying theological assumptions within which such a political concept as monarchy in Israel could gain point.” (Volume 33, Number 1, Page 47)
“The Sinai covenant (Exod 19:3b–6) had foreshadowed a separated Israel who would witness to her world by her distinctiveness. Clearly what was required was the adjustment of the 1 Samuel 8 demand for kingship to a compatibility with covenant. We shall see that this is achieved by the time we reach chap. 12. The matter is resolved in two ways within these chapters, after Samuel has first outlined the implications of Israel’s request (chap. 8).” (Volume 33, Number 1, Page 53)
“Thus the whole hymn is a statement of the new direction to be struck in Israel’s fortunes as a result of the erection of messianic kingship, which finally demonstrates Yahweh’s kingship.” (Volume 33, Number 1, Page 51)
“so good works are inevitable in the life of one who truly believes. These works have no part in bringing about salvation” (Volume 33, Number 1, Page 17)
“He is not battling a transitory lapse in tongue control. He is dominated by a pattern that characterizes his very nature.” (Volume 33, Number 1, Page 21)
