Jack “The Agnostic” Garcia examines the story of Samson, the long haired strongman whose tales of enormous strength are found in the Book of Judges (chapters 13-16). Who doesn’t know the stories of Samson, who slays a lion with his bare hands, carries off the gates of the city of Gaza on his shoulders and is deceived by the beautiful Delilah. Shamed and chained by the Philistines, Samson finally brings down upon himself and his enemies the vast Temple of Dagon in a final heroic act of divine vengeance. Jack digs deeply into the biblical text, folkloric tradition, archaeological evidence and the history of the time of the Judges and the cruel but highly sophisticated Philistine civilization.
