Information on First and Second Samuel from the publisher:
Beginning with the story of Hannah, the mother of Samuel, the books describe Saul and the beginning of kingship in ancient Israel. The focus, however, remains steadfastly on David. His story becomes a powerful vehicle for thinking about God's chosen leaders and their triumphs and failures.. "Eugene Peterson emphasizes the cohesive narrative nature of the material and takes seriously the reverberations that are set up between the Samuel/David story and the gospel story of Jesus Christ.
Description of Eugene H. Peterson, author of First and Second Samuel:
The power of story as God's word to the community of faith is never more clear than in the books of Samuel and in this interpretation by Eugene Peterson. All the emotion, drama, complexity of character, and mystery of good stories are to be found in these two biblical books.
