| Summary: | The role of the parents of Samson in the Samson saga (Judges 13-16) The parents of Samson, Manoah and his wife, play an important literary and theological role not only in Judges 13 where they act as main characters, but also in the rest of the saga where they occur in a diminishing role. By means of the interaction between the characters and the underlying motifs originating from them (especially the parents), Samson's conduct in relationship with his parents becomes an illustration of the tension found in the life of the people of Israel, viz. that between the orderly social institutions on the one hand and the natural non-traditional forces in a developing society on the other hand. |
