1 & 2 Samuel for Everyone by The Revd John Goldingay
The books of 1 and 2 Samuel vividly describe the passing of the age of the judges and the founding of the Israelite monarchy. We read of the rise and rule of Samuel, the last and greatest of the judges, and his role in establishing Saul and, later, David as kings over Israel. The wars, deceptions, victories, friendship, intrigue, rivalry, jealousy, and (for David) adultery and family discord that marked the reigns of these two men ensure that 1 and 2 Samuel are among the most readable - and relevant - books of the Old Testament. Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his considerable theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us deep into the unfolding story of the Old Testament.
John Goldingay is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, California. His recent books include An Introduction to the Old Testament, A Reader’s Guide to the Bible, Reading Jesus’s Bible, Biblical Theology and numerous critically acclaimed commentaries on the books of the Hebrew Bible.
