ATSS: Horace Alexander, “Saul: The Tragic Hero”
19 June 2024 |
The monarchy of Saul, Israel’s first king, is generally regarded as a failure. For the most part we, as adults, maintain the same impressions of Saul and Samuel that we had as children.
It is time we take a more nuanced approach to an assessment of Saul’s reign and Samuel’s role in it. Issues emerging from this presentation include leadership qualities, mental health, organizational politics, and the PK Syndrome.
