Good intentions; bad scriptural basis
Although the author of this book had good intentions, he based the entire book on a wrong scriptural interpretation: that Samson was a man trying to mask his fears of acting tough, or as the author calls it, "The Samson Trap". But the Bible itself does not indicate this. The Bible does not say that Samson was afraid of anything. The author, and many other writers, focus on the negative aspects of Samson's character, while the only place where the Bible gives a direct commentary on Samson's life describes him in an extremely positive light (Hebrews 11:32-38). His weaknesses can only be accurately studied in the light of his strength, which is his faith in God's grace despite his own weaknesses and failures. Vincent Cheung and Phil Stanton give much more accurate teachings on Samson. Vincent Cheung's teaching on Samson can be found at this web site, FaithPower.com.
