Sermons on 2 Samuel
The Story of Tamar
Linda’s message is rooted in the cry of Tamar and the crime of Amnon from 2 Samuel 13.1-22. Tamar’s story speaks a truth we are reluctant to hear from beginning to end. May we listen to the stories of sexual assault and may compassion open us the unheard cries of every Tamar. May our response to Tamar’s story, and to every Tamar we meet, be holy and loving and just.
