Do you ever skip over books like 1 and 2 Samuel in your Bible reading plan? Do they just seem like a bunch of blood, names and numbers? Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss how there’s a lot more to these books than you might think, and they play an important role in the whole story of the Bible.

• Who wrote these books, when, and why?
• What are the major themes?
