The primary problem that Mobley's book deals with is the odd
character of Judges 13-16 and of its hero. Samson's special
quality, noted by virtually all interpreters, is defined here as
liminality. The liminal situation, which includes a movement away
from society, the lack of social restraints, and the status of
outsider, is a permanent condition for Samson. The secondary
purpose of this book is to demonstrate the ways in which the Samson
saga, which is often compared to the Greek Heracles tradition,
makes use of ideas about wild men and warriors found in other
biblical and Mesopotamian stories.
