Publisher's Description

Prominent biblical scholar and author Walter Brueggemann studies three passages from the books of Samuel, using the methods of literary criticism and rhetorical analysis. He examines the ways the themes of power, divine providence, and David’s personality cohere in the biblical narrative to explain David’s rise to power and assumption of the kingship and his dominance over Saul.
