This book was released on 1985 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Brueggemann thoughtfully examines four different David narratives from the books of 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles.

Peterson asks where we might locate a figure with both motive and opportunity to draw up a proto-narrative including elements of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and the first part of 1 Kings.

Download or read book David written by Benjamin J. M. Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David is one of the most complex and fascinating characters in all of literature. His story exists at a crucial point in the biblical narrative where God turns toward committing to monarchy in Israel. He is the slayer of Goliath, the hero of Israel, and God’s chosen king. Yet, he is also a manipulator, adulterer, and murderer. This book provides a broad audience of students, lay readers, and scholars with a close reading of David’s story, presenting scholarly study of this fascinating and crucial character in an accessible and engaging manner. By carefully presenting David’s story, this book addresses how it is possible to consider a flawed and imperfect character like David as a man after God’s own heart.
Book Synopsis The Life and Witness of David by : Larry R. Helyer
Download or read book The Life and Witness of David written by Larry R. Helyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life and Witness of David introduces the general reader to the remarkable career of David son of Jesse. This man streaked across the skies like a meteor and could rightly be called a Hebrew superstar. The stories about him are among the most beloved and captivating in Scripture. The author distills this amazing story in thirteen chapters and adds a fourteenth to sum up David’s legacy in history, liturgy, and worship. David transformed the land of Israel from an insignificant federation of tribes into a Middle Eastern power, an extraordinary feat unparalleled in Israel’s history. His importance, however, lies less in his military and political accomplishments than in his spiritual and theological contributions. In his action-packed life and in the book of Psalms, David, the man after God’s own heart, speaks through the Spirit of God to our hearts in all the vicissitudes of life. At numerous points, the author draws attention to moments in David’s story that reecho in the pages of the NT. David’s story prefigures the story of David’s greater son, Jesus, Son of God. The typological links connecting David and Christ in redemptive history are a key emphasis in this book.

Book Synopsis David and His Theologian by : Walter Brueggemann
Download or read book David and His Theologian written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Walter Brueggemann's career, he has repeatedly found his way back to the David and royal traditions. From some of his earliest articles and essays to monographs, commentaries, and sermons, he has explored this rich field in literary, social, and theological depth. As he has said, "My preoccupation with David rests on the awareness that David occupies a central position in the imagination of ancient Israel and in the rendering of 'faith and history' by that community. As the genealogies locate David, he stands mid-point between the rigors of Mosaic faith and the destruction of Jerusalem; as a consequence he becomes, in the artistry of Israel, the carrier of all the ambivalence Israel knew about guarantees and risks in the world YHWH governs." This volume brings together some of Brueggemann's key essays on the David traditions, as well as their interrelationships with traditions in the book of Genesis. --from the Foreword
Book Synopsis Theology of the Old Testament by : Walter Brueggemann
Download or read book Theology of the Old Testament written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful book, Walter Brueggemann moves the discussion of Old Testament theology beyond the dominant models of previous generations. Brueggemann focuses on the metaphor and imagery of the courtroom trial in order to regard the theological substance of the Old Testament as a series of claims asserted for Yahweh, the God of Israel. This provides a context that attends to pluralism in every dimension of the interpretive process and suggests links to the plurality of voices of our time.
Book Synopsis Conflict in the Holy Land by : Robert C. DiPrizio

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 250 cross-referenced entries covering every aspect of conflict in the Holy Land, this illuminating book will help students understand the volatile history of Palestine and Israel and its impact on the rest of the world. Palestine is considered a sacred land by Christians, Jews, and Muslims. This has contributed to the violence that has ravaged the Holy Land throughout its long history. This A–Z reference work, which defines the Holy Land as historic Palestine (the combined territories of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip), covers such ancient conflicts as Egypt's rule over Canaan, the reign of King David, and the Jewish Revolts against the Roman Empire. In addition, the title includes detailed entries on such medieval conflicts as the Crusades and such contemporary conflicts as the Arab-Israeli wars. The reference begins with an introduction that provides readers with the necessary context to understand the region's bloody history and a comprehensive chronology that will help students construct a more complete picture of conflict in the Holy Land. Then come hundreds of key entries on the events, individuals, groups, places, and ideologies that have played an important role in the strife there. The title concludes with an expansive bibliography that will aid students looking to do more research on the topic and a thorough index.

Book Synopsis David in the Fourth Gospel by : Margaret Daly-Denton
Download or read book David in the Fourth Gospel written by Margaret Daly-Denton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the reception of the psalms in the New Testament, taking as an example the Fourth Gospel, a work profoundly shaped by early Christian liturgy. It explores the contemporary Jewish attribution of the Psalms to David, an idealized figure envisaged as Temple founder and man of prayer. It then shows how this image of David has affected the way the Fourth Evangelist draws on the psalms through quotation, allusion and echo. It frequently demonstrates that the Fourth Gospel attests to Jewish psalm interpretations found in rabbinic sources. Challenging the prevailing view that the Fourth Evangelist intentionally dissociates Jesus from David, this book argues that David as psalmist plays a highly significant role in the Johannine portrayal of Jesus.
Book Synopsis A Story of the Psalms by : V. Steven Parrish
Download or read book A Story of the Psalms written by V. Steven Parrish and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Story of the Psalms is an interdisciplinary project that is informed especially by synchronic approaches to reading the Bible and the work of social scientists and theologians who have studies the contemporary landscape confronting religious communities, particularly congregations. Specifically, insights from narrative analysis are used to discern in the Book of Psalms a story with a plot that is told by multiple voices - engaged with one another and with God - as they address crucial junctures in Israel's life. These enduring voices offer guidance to congregations of an emerging church in a Post-Christendom era.
Book Synopsis David: The Shepherd Years by : Larry L. Lichtenwalter
Download or read book David: The Shepherd Years written by Larry L. Lichtenwalter and published by Review and Herald Pub Assoc. This book was released on 2003 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But God saw something special in David when nobody else did, and called him to the throne. He was a shepherd. Military hero. Outlaw. King. Adulterer. Murderer. Penitent father. But most of all the he was a man after God's own heart. David had an instinct for the divine. He poured out his passion for God in song. He danced before God. He wept before God. As a result, Scripture says more about him than about Christ. Artists have sculpted him. Libraries of books have been written about him. All because at the center of David was God. This volume, the first of three, covers the story of David through his friendship with Jonathan. Passion is catching. Let David's God-saturated life fan the flames of faith. All of us, sometimes, just go through the motions. As you read, may David's passion for God become yours, and your heart like His.
Download or read book David written by Zachary Taylor and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible describes King David as "a man after God's own heart," and his reign is considered the golden age of ancient Israel. David unified the 12 Hebrew tribes, established a powerful central government, expanded Israel's borders through a combination of diplomacy and military conquest, and laid the foundations for an Israelite monarchy that would endure for centuries. David was far from perfect, however; his fits of temper and sinful behaviors often resulted in tragic consequences. But David's weaknesses, and his trust in the Lord, demonstrate the power of God's forgiveness. King David continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration 3,000 years after his death.
