Synopsis

Tragedy of the Commons invites readers into a fresh exploration of the book of 1 Samuel, which tells the story of Saul, Israel’s first monarch and the personification of its chronic sins. Stulac’s unique voice combines sensitive exegesis with probing meditations on culture, art, literature, memoir, and Christian spirituality. He cuts deftly through the moralistic reductions of Old Testament stories for which the church too often settles, and in doing so, reveals the life-giving rhetoric of a biblical book aimed squarely at the reader’s transformation of mind and heart. “Israel’s common tragedy,” writes Stulac, “will be solved through a lengthening and a deepening of the tragedy itself. Finding his people up to their eyeballs in sewage, God dives into the polluted abyss, swims to the bottom, and unplugs the pipe below their flailing feet.” From Hannah’s miracle baby to Saul’s suicide, Tragedy helps readers to recognize both their own predilection for idols as well as the surprising ways that 1 Samuel anticipates the gospel of Jesus Christ. “King Saul serves not as a finger-wagging argument for God’s disengagement from his people’s fate,” Stulac claims, “but as the shocking conduit of God’s incarnational involvement in their corporate mess.”
