Beskrivning
Was David a good man ruined by the negative influence of the evil villain Joab or was David himself the villain who cast his dark shadow wrongfully over Joab? The depth and complexity of David’s character is more clearly observed and appreciated through this careful reading of the texts describing Joab as his foil. This book provides a wealth of information regarding character studies, a new perspective on David, and a groundbreaking study of Joab. Courses in biblical studies, especially literary or historical, will find this text most helpful.

Recensioner i media

«David is one of the most fascinating and complex characters the Hebrew Bible has to offer. Recent studies have pictured him either as saint or sinner, opportunist or focused on service to God. Michael Eschelbach’s illuminating literary study of the relationship between David and Joab is a major contribution to the question of David’s character. This book is must reading for all who study this crucial period of Israelite history.» (Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Co-author, ‘A Biblical History of Israel’)
