Book Synopsis The Succession to the Throne of David by : Leonhard Rost
Download or read book The Succession to the Throne of David written by Leonhard Rost and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published originally in 1926, Rost's Die Überlieferung von der Thronnachfolge Davids is fundamental to the study of Samuel and Kings. The story of the ark, the account of the Ammonite war, Nathan's prophecy concerning David's dynasty, and, above all, the succession narrative or 'court history' are singled out for thorough examination, with questions of style, theme and religious viewpoint dominating the discussion. His thesis is brilliantly argued and has sustained a remarkable measure of agreement over many decades, though criticism has grown in recent years. It remains mandatory reading for the study of Samuel and Kings, Hebrew narrative art, and history writing in ancient Israel. There is an extensive introduction by the late Edward Ball.

Book Synopsis 100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies by : Ray Konig
Download or read book 100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies written by Ray Konig and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies' takes a selection of 100 Bible prophecies and walks the reader through a clear and concise explanation of how these prophecies have been fulfilled. These prophecies foretold a series of events involving the destruction and restoration of ancient Israel, as well as the rise and demise of the great ancient kingdoms of Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. Other prophecies foretold the birth, life, death and resurrection of the Messiah, who would reconcile mankind with God, and offer eternal life to believers in the Kingdom of God. These prophecies foretold that the Messiah would be an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, that he would be a descendant of King David, that he would be born in Bethlehem, that he would be mortal and die, and yet be eternal, and have a worldwide spiritual impact. These prophecies find fulfillment in Jesus Christ, and in him alone. More than 100 million books have been written throughout the world since the dawn of recorded history, according to an estimate published in 2010. Of those books, one stands alone in how uniquely and strongly it is associated with prophecy, and that book is the Bible.'100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies' seeks to explain to the reader why the Bible is uniquely held in this regard.
Book Synopsis The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel by : Robert Alter
Download or read book The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
Download or read book Elizabeth written by David Starkey and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2007-09-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An abused child, yet confident of her destiny to reign, a woman in a man's world, passionately sexual—though, as she maintained, a virgin—Elizabeth I is famed as England's most successful ruler. David Starkey's brilliant new biography concentrates on Elizabeth's formative years—from her birth in 1533 to her accession in 1558—and shows how the experiences of danger and adventure formed her remarkable character and shaped her opinions and beliefs. From princess and heir-apparent to bastardized and disinherited royal, accused traitor to head of the princely household, Elizabeth experienced every vicissitude of fortune and extreme of condition—and rose above it all to reign during a watershed moment in history. A uniquely absorbing tale of one young woman's turbulent, courageous, and seemingly impossible journey toward the throne, Elizabeth is the exhilarating story of the making of a queen.
Book Synopsis The Biblical Saga of King David by : John Van Seters
Download or read book The Biblical Saga of King David written by John Van Seters and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical story of King David has been interpreted in many different ways, arising from the variety of methods used in and the intended objectives of the studies: Does the narrative contain insight into and information about the early history of the Judean monarchy, or is it merely a legendary tale about a distant past? Can we identify the story’s literary genre, it sociohistorical setting, and the intention of its author(s)? Is an appreciation for the wonderful literary qualities of the story compatible with a literary-critical investigation of the narrative’s compositional and text-critical history? Van Seters reviews past scholarship on the David story and in the course of doing so unravels the history of these questions and then presents an extended appraisal of the debate about the social and historical context of the biblical story. From this critical foundation, Van Seters proceeds to offering a detailed literary analysis of the story of David from his rise to power under Saul to his ultimate succession by Solomon.

Book Synopsis The House of David by : Mahri Leonard-Fleckman
Download or read book The House of David written by Mahri Leonard-Fleckman and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current scholarly debate over the historical character of David’s rule generally considers the biblical portrait to represent David as king of Judah first, and subsequently over “all Israel.” The ninth-century Tel Dan inscription, which refers to the “House of David” (byt dwd), is often taken as evidence for the dynasty of Judah. Mahri Leonard-Fleckman argues, however, that references to Judah in the story of David as king do not suffice to constitute a coherent stratum of material about Judah as a political entity. Comparing the “house of . . .” terminology in the ninth-century Tel Dan inscription with early first-millennium Assyrian usage, then giving close examination to the “house of David” materials in 2 Samuel and 1 Kings, she understands the “house of David” as a small body politic connected to David, but distinct from any Judean dynastic context. One implication is that the identification of Judah as a later southern kingdom may have less to do with an Israelite secession from Jerusalem than with an Israelite rejection of David’s lineage and the subsequent redactional creation of Judah-centric language on the part of a Davidic coterie. Leonard-Fleckman’s arguments suggest a rethinking of the rise of monarchy in Israel.

Book Synopsis Run, David, Run! by : Steven Thatcher Mann
Download or read book Run, David, Run! written by Steven Thatcher Mann and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Steven Mann highlights the role of theology in the story of David's departure and return as told in 2 Samuel 14-20. Mann's method of narrative analysis employs a philosophy of language called speech act theory. His primary interest is ways in which speech act theory has been applied to biblical narrative, and he concentrates specifically on speech acts that include theological propositional content, that is, words used to denote God. In this way, Mann analyzes the theological speech acts of the narrative and then suggests a way to view the narrative itself as a speech act. The thesis of this study is that speech act theory illuminates the integral role of theology in the story of David's departure and return. Theology is not merely one aspect of the story but is in fact a catalyst necessary to the plot. Furthermore, the act of telling the story as 2 Sam 14-20 does is the very act of portraying David's faith in Yhwh. David's speech acts demonstrate that he believes that Yhwh is someone who intervenes and who finds ways to bring his banished ones back to him. The narrative portrayal of David's faith can be understood as an illocutionary act, with the potential effect of encouraging an audience, a perlocutionary act. In other words, Man demonstrates that this story can inspire any readers who see this narrative as a story not only about David but about themselves.

Book Synopsis The Fate of Saul's Progeny in the Reign of David by : Cephas TA Tushima
Download or read book The Fate of Saul's Progeny in the Reign of David written by Cephas TA Tushima and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This narrative critical study offers a bold and comprehensive analysis of the relationship between David and Saul's heirs. Tushima inquires into whether Saulides' tragedies were due to continuing divine retribution, pure happenstance, or David orchestration. Focusing on the story of David and its interconnections with the fate of the Saulides, and employing the criterion of justice, the author presents the other side of King David, who is generally depicted as hero. Tushima argues that David was, most often, unjust and calculating in his dealings with the vanquished house of Saule. Thematic and motific threads arising from this study are considered within their contexts in Israel's traditions for their biblical-theological and redemptive-historical import.
