Rey David – (Spanish)
$19.99
The purpose of this book is to ‘Explore the complexities of David, his aspirations, projects and triumphs, as well as his defeats, anxieties and sins, going beyond the ‘sweet Psalmist of Israel.’ We are not trying to present David as pious and consecrated, but as a man full of conflicts and uncertainties.’ The author’s purpose is to identify the human David of yesterday with the problems of the modern reader of today; and to demonstrate how such a complex and contradictory personality, full of achievements and limitations, virtues and defects, such as David, can in the hands of God be transformed into a symbolic ideal, an emblematic personality, and a good role model. This magisterial analysis of the Biblical narrative, united with the critical evaluation of information provided by archaeologists, has resulted in an exemplary book. A biography that presents the newest exegetical and hermeneutical research with a generous literary clarity. This work includes a variety of illustrations on almost every page highlighting the important points, which greatly facilitates reading and comprehension of the text, along with a comprehensive bibliography. ‘We have not had access, to date, to many of the texts that offer more facts or a more rigorous analysis of the academic sources of information about David and his historical times.’ angel Velez, director of the School of Theology ad the University of Puerto Rico.
