Description
King David: The Real Life of the Man Who Ruled Israel A complex and multifaceted figure, King David was a leader of great charisma and cunning, yet also capable of violence and bloodthirsty ambition. This book brings to life the biblical king through a rich tapestry of biblical texts, centuries of interpretation and commentary, and the latest discoveries in biblical archaeology and scholarship. Jonathan Kirsch's narrative is a dramatic and intimate portrayal of a hero who was both revered and reviled in his time. By weaving together these different threads, Kirsch reveals a man of remarkable depth and complexity, whose flaws and failures are just as compelling as his successes.
