1 Samuel, looking from the Heart, is a commentary that does not deal with the minor issues in a text but goes straight to the "literary quality of the narrative and, especially, on the theological witness of the text." This book is divided up into 3 sections (A prophets from God's Grace, A King in God's place, and A Man After God's Heart).
Davis brings cultural and historical color to the task of interpreting one of the most studied parts of the Bible. The lessons in 2 Samuel from the life of Israel, and David in particular, have obvious modern parallels. Davis writes with a pastor's heart AND the incisive brain of a respected theologian specializing in the Old Testament texts.
