This book is part of the Jewish Lives series, and was written by a Conservative rabbi. It includes the details of David's life and his significance as a Jewish leader. David represented self assurance, empathy, and repentance (for hooking up with Bathsheba) which are good traits in a leader. He had 8 wives and 18 children, and was prophesied to be the father of the Messiah. This prophesy provided a transition from the Torah to the New Testament, if your beliefs run in that direction.

A reexamination of the biblical David, legendary warrior, poet, and king, by one of America's most respected rabbis Of all the figures in the Bible, David arguably stands out as the most perplexing and enigmatic. He was many things: a warrior who subdued Goliath and the Philistines; a king who united a nation; a poet who created beautiful, sensitive verse; a loyal servant of God who proposed the great Temple and founded the Messianic line; a schemer, deceiver, and adulterer who freely indulged his very human appetites. David Wolpe, whom Newsweek called "the most influential rabbi in America," takes a fresh look at biblical David in an attempt to find coherence in his seemingly contradictory actions and impulses. The author questions why David holds such an exalted place in history and legend, and then proceeds to unravel his complex character based on information found in the book of Samuel and later literature. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of an exceptional human being who, despite his many flaws, was truly beloved by God. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
