Can we identify the story's literary genre, its sociohistorical setting, and the intention of its author(s)? Is an appreciation for the wonderful literary qualities of the story compatible with a literary-critical investigation of the narrative's compositional and text-critical history?" "John Van Seters reviews past scholarship on the David story and in the course of doing so unravels the history of these questions and then presents an extended appraisal of the debate about the social and historical context of the biblical story. From this critical foundation, Van Seters proceeds to offering a detailed literary analysis of the story of David from his rise to power under Saul to his ultimate succession by Solomon"--Jacket.TheologyTheology.222/.4092Van Seters John1104051MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817330603321The Biblical Saga of King David4000705UNINA
