Bible Elections - The Roots of Jesus - Volume 5: Kings and Prophets - Bible Elections - The Roots of Jesus, #5

As the fifth part of a post-modern, trans-denominational, non-fundamentalist and non-traditionalist, theologically innovative and visionary, progressive-Christian Bible commentary, which is written in a popular, literary, scholarly and profoundly spiritual writing style at the same time, this volume deals with the great biblical sagas about Israel's first two kings, Saul and David, tackles the issue of a unified or divided Iron-Age Israelite kingdom, which to a certain degree also reflects the Bible's core dialectic between Priestly and Deuteronomistic theology, and examines the peculiar phenomenon of YHWH's prophets; it largely concludes the series' Jesus-focused contemplation of the Pre-Christian Bible (or, as Christians call it, the "Old Testament").
