The Second Day of Christmas: Samuel in Luke
December 26, 2018
Alastair Roberts
Merry Christmas!
Over the Christmas period, I will be posting videos exploring biblical echoes and symmetries in the stories of the nativity in the gospels. In this second video I discuss the connections between Luke's gospel and the beginning of 1 Samuel.
