1 and 2 Samuel for Everyone

By John E. Goldingay

Building on the success of the acclaimed New Testament for Everyone commentaries, Westminster John Knox Press is pleased to present the seventeen-volume Old Testament for Everyone series. Internationally respected Old Testament scholar John Goldingay addresses Scripture from Genesis to Malachi in such a way that even the most challenging passages are explained simply and concisely. The series is perfect for daily devotions, group study, or brief personal visits with the Bible. This sixth volume in the Old Testament for Everyone series covers the stories of Israel's first kings-Saul and David. Goldingay gives them the royal treatment with chapter titles including "Sour Hour of Prayer," "When Ministers Indulge Themselves," "How Not to Evade the Draft," and "What Do You Do When You're Desperate?" These books are grounded in solid scholarship and enhanced with a contemporary flair by the distinguished scholar John Goldingay, and they provide a perfect pairing to N. T. Wright's New Testament for Everyone series. Readers will be well served by Goldingay as a tour guide through the Old Testament. Book jacket.
