The Good Book

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Brian Redhead continues his biblical route-march from Eden to Armageddon.
4: The Path to Kingship
This week he examines the Bible's most startling U-turn as the followers of Moses the kingbreaker choose a royal road to Jerusalem. Is there a message behind Samson's unwanted haircut and Sisera's tent-peg-shattered head? Have the Philistines been the victims of a smear campaign? And why has the kingship of a shepherd king with good aim and sometimes weak morals provided a royal ideal which still survives today? Readers BERNARD JACKSON
DAVID GARTH. TESSA WORSLEY Researcher MICHAEL WAKELIN Producer FRANCES GUMLEY
(Re-broadcast Thursday 10.0am LW)
