It also deals at length with the fascinating stories of Saul and David. In this volume, John Goldingay works through the book, exploring the main theological ideas as they emerge in the narratives about Samuel, Saul, and David, as well as in the stories of characters such as Hannah, Michal, Bathsheba, and Tamar. Goldingay brings out the key ideas about God and God's involvement in the lives of people, and their involvement with him through prayer and worship. He also delves into the mystery and complexity of human persons and their roles in events. Goldingay's study traces how God pursues his purpose for Israel and, ultimately, for the world in these narratives. It shows how this pursuit is interwoven with the realities of family, monarchy, war, love, ambition, loss, failure, and politics.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Weight: 459gAuthor: John GoldingayGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Old Testament TheologyItem Height: 222mmItem Length: 146mmItem Width: 21mmRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
