...Ideas pop out everywhere, even in the most unlikely places. New insights abound. No one who reads this book will ever find Joshua dull and tedious again. Richard A. Bodey, Professor of Homiletics, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
Davis brings cultural and historical colour 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 specialising in the Old Testament texts.
Davis' pastoral application, laced with his own humor and illustrations ensure you remember the point he tackled head on as a scholar.
Daniel is an excellent example of godly living and there is a theme throughout the book of Daniel that God reigns sovereignly and that he will use those who know him to do exploits in history.
Judges is a book full of characters such as Samson, Gideon and Deborah, but the key person in this book is the Yahweh who offers great salvation to the Israelite people and shows grace even when they choose to turn away from him. Dale Ralph Davis shows the clear, Messiah-centered story line of Judges through this 'theocentric' exposition.
