Book Description
"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Book Description
1 Samuel is Volume VII of The Forms of the Old Testament Literature, a series that aims to present a form-critical analysis of every book and each unit in the Hebrew Bible. Fundamentally exegetical, the FOTL volumes examine the "structure, genre, setting," and "intention" of the biblical literature in question. They also study the history behind the form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the terminology for the genres and formulas of the biblical literature, and expose the exegetical process so as to enable students and pastors to engage in their own analysis and interpretation of the Old Testament texts. Antony Campbell's valuable form-critical analysis of 1 Samuel highlights both the literary development of the text itself and its meanings for its audience. A skilled student of the Hebrew scriptures and their ancient context, Campbell shows modern readers the process of editing and reworking that shaped 1 Samuel's final form. As Campbell's study reveals, the tensions and contradictions that exist in the present text reflect a massive change in the way of life of ancient Israel. Samuel, the first prophet, here emerges to preside over the rise of Saul, Israel's first king, to be the agent of Saul's rejection, and to anoint David as Israel's next king and the first established head of a royal dynasty. The book of 1 Samuel captures the work of God within this interplay of sociopolitical forces, and Campbell fruitfully explores the text both as a repository of traditions of great significance for Israel and as a paradigm of Israel's use of narrative for theological expression.

Book Description
But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. --Deuteronomy 4:29 Colonel Katie Green fights to save her Air Force career after a senior-level review board decided to revoke her Top Secret security clearance. Katie's misgivings about just war leads to her clearance kerfuffle because she fears a US preemptive nuclear strike would fail God's litmus test, yet nuclear weapons are her ticket to promotion to general officer. Haunted and challenged by her father's suicide after losing his clearance, she seeks refuge in God's Word. By day, she engineers a launcher that releases missiles with Mach 4 exit velocity, quadrupling the speed of sound. She earns a Department of Defense patent for her seminal development. General Patricia Moynahan, Katie's sinister boss, races for promotion to major general at the expense of national security, while threatening Katie's rising influence. Equally menacing, a Department of Energy duo, whose nefarious antics upend her best attempt to correct latent launcher malfunctions, casts shadows on Katie's past, present, and future. Both Moynahan and Energy present near insurmountable roadblocks. But Katie believes God's grace is sufficient. By night, Katie's Bible study teacher and soulmate, Dr. Pete Markham, fuels her confidence by showing why God considered King David a man after his own heart, despite David's bloodstained hands. David clinched God's blessings as he exposed his human frailty. How Katie longs to be a woman after God's own heart. Could she risk defying God without losing his favor? General Tom Davidson, Katie's mentor and leading Air Force policy maker on all things nuclear, guides her career trajectory that includes the possibility of fighting unjust wars. His support rivals the relationship she sanctions with God--a troubling dilemma defined by Davidson's power to ensure her promotion to general officer. Would a promotion to general doom Katie's soul?
