Synopsis The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel by : Robert Alter
"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Synopsis Oxford Bibliographies by : Ilan Stavans
"An emerging field of study that explores the Hispanic minority in the United States, Latino Studies is enriched by an interdisciplinary perspective. Historians, sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, demographers, linguists, as well as religion, ethnicity, and culture scholars, among others, bring a varied, multifaceted approach to the understanding of a people whose roots are all over the Americas and whose permanent home is north of the Rio Grande.

Synopsis The Historical Books of the Bible: FIRST KINGS by : Jeanne Gossett Halsey
EXCERPT: "When I read about the mighty King David, now an elderly man with poor blood circulation (see 1 Kings 1:1-3), I immediately remembered my once-robust father Don Gossett - a great man of God in his own right - in his latter years never being quite warm enough. A great warrior David had famously been, but now old age had caught up to him and he spent his time covered with blankets and sitting by braziers, with his personal nurse-assistant Abishag devoted to his comfort. The picture told of an infirm man told is unmistakable - but it should not be assumed that David was also senile. In his final years, my father's memory made not have been as sharp as it once had been, but he was still wise and filled with the Spirit of the Lord. David may have been physically feeble, but there is nothing to suggest he was past being capable of ruling as the King."

Synopsis The Books of Kings by : André Lemaire
This collaborative commentary on, or dictionary of, Kings, explores cross-cutting aspects of Kings ranging from the analysis of its composition, historically regarded, to its transmission and reception. Ample attention is accorded sources, figures and peoples who play a part in the book. The commentary deals with Kings treatment in translation and role in later ancient literature. While our comments do not proceed verse by verse, the volume furnishes guidance, from contributors highly qualified to advance contemporary discussion, on the book's historical background, its literary intentions and characteristics, and on themes and motifs central to its understanding, both of itself and of the world from which it arose. This volume functions as a meta-commentary, offering windows into the secondary literature, but assembling data more fully than is the case in individual commentaries.
