Kings and Prophets

by Jonathan Turner

Following the "Golden Age" of kings David and Solomon, the nation of Israel split into two competing kingdoms. The two kingdoms represented two conflicting world-views. The northern kingdom of Israel adopted a policy of cultural accommodation. Toward the end it became virtually indistinguishable from other nations. The southern kingdom of Judah (with notable exceptions) held fast to its Covenant with God. Its citizens remained a separate people with a distinct culture.During this time, God sent many prophets as His spokesmen. As people turned away from the Covenant the prophets acted as prosecuting attorneys presenting God's case against them. However, the prophets not only brought warnings, they also gave a message of incredible hope.The 30 studies in this volume cover the period from the breakup of Solomon's empire to the destruction of the northern kingdom. Each lesson includes at least one application which is relevant to us today. The author also includes an essay on the "10 Lost Tribes" of Israel.Other titles in this survey course include: Beginnings and PatriarchsExodus and WanderingsConquest and JudgesThe United Monarchy
