The author of this wonderful new volume is convinced that the books of Samuel were written not to display the horror of David's sin of murder and adultery (though that painful lesson is clearly evident), but rather to demonstrate God's faithfulness in raising up prophets, priests, and kings to move history toward the coming of Christ. The central focus of this commentary is to show that the sovereign God weaves His own historical patterns alongside human failure and sins. In fact, the faithfulness of God is always seen more clearly against the backdrop of the unfaithfulness of mankind.As with his other volumes, Dr. Barber has done an outstanding job of combining careful scholarship, practical application, and an appealing style that one reader described as a commentary that reads like a novel.
