[QUOTE="SpyofMoses, post: 1497398, member: 18267"] This thread is for thoughts and inquiries about the books of the Bible you've recently read. I have read all of the New Testament a few times since coming back to the faith after years apostasy, but only within the last year or so have I taken reading the Old Testament books more seriously. There is a thread for books you've finished, but not one about the Biblical books you've finished, so I figured I'd start one. My goal is to read all the books of the Bible. This thread is also a way to keep me on track to keep reading, and it is my hope it helps others do the same. Since there is a number of posters more familiar with the Bible (and the faith) than me, I invite any of them to post insights they may have and answers to any questions others post here. I thought about putting this thread in Orthodox General, but since I'm inviting questions I figured it might fit better in this subforum. That said, I'll get it started: I just finished reading the Book of Judges for the first time. Although I've been told the story of Samson many times throughout my upbringing, I never knew it was a part of the Book of Judges. There were times I was wondering why Samson stayed with his wife as she repeatedly betrayed him. Is it that even the strongest man in the world was weak against feminine wiles? Or did he just not even know that it was Delilah binding him for the Philistines until it was too late? [/QUOTE]
