In this two-part episode of Help Me Teach the Bible, I talk to Gary Millar, principal of Queensland Theological College in Brisbane, Australia, and author of Saving Eutychus. Millar is currently working on a commentary on 1 and 2 Kings, which will be published by Crossway. The Book of 1 Kings opens with a weakened King David who can’t seem to keep warm in bed, and subsequently works its way through:
- the glorious and yet ultimately failed kingship of Solomon
- the building and dedication of the temple
- the division of the kingdom with its good and bad kings
- the prophetic ministry of Elijah
Here are some additional audio resources you may find helpful in preparing to teach 1 Kings:
- Chapel messages on 1 and 2 Kings by Gary Millar
- Sermons on 1 Kings by Sinclair Ferguson
For further study, here are some books you may find helpful, including titles from Crossway, sponsor of Help Me Teach the Bible:
- 1 and 2 Kings (Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible) by Peter J. Leithart
- 1 Kings: The Wisdom and the Folly by Dale Ralph Davis
- King Solomon: The Temptations of Money, Sex, and Power by Philip Graham Ryken
