Week 3. Vulgata: Samson
Readings
| Weekly Activities
This week we will continue reading from the Vulgate, moving on to the
story of Samson and Delilah, one of the most famous narratives
of the Hebrew Bible. Samson is a great hero, a "superman" of
incredible physical strength. He is also a violent man, and has made many
enemies among his neighbors in Palestine. The scheming Delilah is finally
able to bring about his downfall, cutting the hair which is the talisman
of his strength. But this is not the end of the story... as you will discover
this week!
