The difference is The Indian Horse and The Reluctant Black Hawk wrote the dark side of it‚ yet The Medicine Man wrote the bright side. In The Indian Horse‚ as the storyteller‚ Saul called aboriginal people “my people” to differentiate themselves from others.

Saul was the first king whom God had chosen to lead and represent His people (the twelve tribes of Israel) on earth. Notably‚ Saul valiantly won many battles for Israel because God was fighting for him. However‚ Saul’s relationship with God was marred when he disobeyed His Holy instructions. In this sense‚ Saul failed to completely eliminate all the Amalekites through keeping the king and some of the spoils of war. (1 Samuel 15:3). This happened because Saul listened to the people’s voice‚ instead

The story of Saul is a unique one with a fairy tale opening and a horror story ending. Saul went from being the pick of the litter to be dragged around and disgraced in death by his own actions. That’s one extreme to another‚ you may ask how and why this happen. Why did God allow His first king to go out in such a horrible way‚ his head cut off‚ no armor and laid there in disgrace before God’s enemies as they rejoiced and laughed. Saul was God’s chosen man for a new direction for the nation of Israel

the characters‚ and most of what is learned about her through the course of the novel is from what the narrator speaks of her thoughts and her feelings. Eliza is the most complex of all the characters and also the most interesting. Aaron‚ Miriam‚ and Saul are all of about the same complexity and are only slightly simpler than Eliza in their characterization. The lesser characters‚ such as Chali or Ms. Bergermeyer‚ are much simpler and very little of their personality is explored. In the case of Chali

As I have said from the beginning‚ I do not claim to fully understand the translation of the Old Testament. However have saying that‚ I will be the first to admit that‚ as with many‚ my translation is a little rusty and very unclear on my end. In our assigned reading‚ on page 83‚ a commit that read‚ “The book of Samuel is full of many intriguing and revering individual stories. But this very fact‚ which makes reading Samuel so interesting‚ can also cause you to miss some significant things with

thought‚ like Saul‚ who complain’d not only that the Philistines were upon him; but that God had forsaken him”(135). In this sentence‚ Defoe references to what Saul told the ghost of Samuel‚ “I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me‚ and God is departed from me‚ and answereth me no more‚ neither by prophets‚ nor by dreams”(I Samuel 28:15). Crusoe‚ like Saul‚ is under attack‚ or‚ rather‚ the fear of an attack that could be made upon him by an unknown enemy. Neither Saul nor Crusoe

We can all say that heroes are people who inspire men and women to do better‚ people who strive to do great things. Well one of my heroes is a biblical man‚ named David also referred to as King David. He was the son of Jesse and his great grandmother was Ruth‚ whose story can also be found in the Bible. David was born Bethlehem in Israel. David was a great man of God‚ and accomplished many great things through God‚ he is also referred to as a man after God’s own heart. David was also a song writer

week’s sermon was “Get-Off Your High Horse.” The phrase has come to mean stop looking down upon someone else‚ or thinking that you are better or smarter than someone else. Our Scripture Reading from Acts found a man named Saul on the high horse of religious arrogance. Saul assumed he was serving God by violently persecuting those with different religious views (Acts 9:1-19). Getting on a religious high-horse‚ and thinking it is God’s will to persecute any human being is a grave misunderstanding:
