In this two-part episode of Help Me Teach the Bible, Nancy talked to Gary Millar, principal of Queensland Theological College in Brisbane, Australia, and author of Saving Eutychus. Millar is currently working on a commentary on 1 and 2 Kings, which will be published by Crossway. The Book of 1 Kings opens with a weakened King David who can’t seem to keep warm in bed, and subsequently works its way through:

• the glorious and yet ultimately failed kingship of Solomon
• the building and dedication of the temple
• the division of the kingdom with its good and bad kings
• the prophetic ministry of Elijah
