Excerpt from the Foreword By

Associate Professor of Biblical Studies
Lutheran Theological Seminary Gettysburg

Some people tell stories. Some people have stories to tell. With Sam Schmitthenner, we have someone who is able to tell a story well, and it is a story he is called to tell. One can tell that he has lived with these biblical stories, and one gets the sense that these are stories that he has told many times until they have been finely honed into the form we now find in this collection. Sparkling with humorous asides or perceptive details, these stories give us the chance to hear Sam’s voice.
