Salt & Light: A Guide for Biblical Studies is a quarterly Bible study guide published by Brethren Press and MennoMedia. The sessions are based on the Uniform Series International Sunday School Lessons, produced by the National Council of Churches. Salt & Light discusses the biblical texts through a theological lens that coheres with the Anabaptist orientation of the Mennonite and Church of the Brethren communions, as well as the Radical Pietist history of the Church of the Brethren.
In this quarter we follow God’s people a generation and more after they were liberated from slavery in Egypt. They settle into the land of Canaan, struggle with an unwieldy confederation of tribes headed by judges, and follow the leadership of the judge and prophet Samuel to and through the formation of the monarchy. We can view these texts as an opportunity to consider how we can live faithfully in the midst of a world that does not share our commitments to life lived in covenant relationship with God and with one another.
