Description: "In David, Marti J. Steussy provides a critical examination of the man who receives more attention from the Old Testament's writers than any other human character. This volume, written for the nonspecialist, explores the Hebrew Bible's three major portraits of David - found in 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, and Psalms - and what each implies about the relation between divine and worldly power."--BOOK JACKET.
