King David: The Real Life of the Man Who Ruled Israel |
King David: The Real Life of the Man Who Ruled Israel
by Jonathan Kirsch. David was handsome, charismatic, artistically
gifted, and a brilliant warrior. He was also murderous, cunning,
licentious, and ruthless. So why do we still tend to ignore the sinful
David and look upon him as a great hero? This book dares to examine the
complete David, drawing upon biblical text as well as insights gleaned
from biblical scholarship and archeology. An entertaining and
informative read.

Ancient Israel’s Faith and History: An Introduction to the Bible in Context |
| by George E. Mendenhall. “Beginning with a discussion of the Near East in the Bronze Age, Mendenhall traces Israel’s faith from its inception with Moses’ ten ‘commitments’ to its lofty heights as a 12-tribe federation that revered God as [its] only true king. [He] then unravels the tale of Israel’s ill-fated plunge into a monarchy and its subsequent failure, the desperate attempts at reform, and the hard lessons of exile. Steeped in archeological artifacts [with] primary texts, photos, maps, and artwork.” |
