First and Second Samuel: Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching

by Walter Brueggemann

Overview

With critical scholarship and theological sensitivity, Walter Brueggemann traces the people of God through the books of Samuel as they shift from marginalized tribalism to oppressive monarchy. He carefully opens the literature of the books, sketching a narrative filled with historical realism but also bursting with an awareness that more than human action is being presented.
